Recent Derby County signing Tawanda Chirewa has been selected for the Zimbabwe national team for their upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixtures.

The Rams' recent addition will play for Zimbabwe as they compete in Group J of the AFCON qualifiers, alongside Kenya, Cameroon and Namibia.

Chirewa made his first Rams appearance in last Tuesday’s Carabao Cup Round Two clash at Barrow after joining on loan from Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers a day earlier. He has two caps to his name for Zimbabwe after making his debut for the side against Lesotho in July 2024.


The attacking midfielder has been selected to be part of manager Michael Nees’ Zimbabwe squad as they play Cameroon (Friday 6th September) and Kenya (Tuesday 10thSeptember) over the week-long international fixture period.
