Garanganga new Zim Davis Cup captain

TENNIS ace Takanyi Garanganga has been named Zimbabwe’s new Davis Cup captain ahead of the team’s World Group II Play-off clash against Uruguay on February 3 and 4 at the Harare Sports Club.

Garanganga, a former key member of the team, takes over from Freeman Nyamunokora who led the team during the Africa Group III event in Algiers, Algeria, last August.

The 32-year-old former Zimbabwe number one-ranked player will lead a familiar squad made up of the Lock brothers – Benjamin and Courtney, Mehluli Sibanda and Benedict Badza.
