List of Zambia Twenty20 International cricketers

This is a list of Zambian Twenty20 International cricketers.

In April 2018, the ICC decided to grant full Twenty20 International (T20I) status to all its members. Therefore, all Twenty20 matches played between Suriname and other ICC members after 1 January 2019 will have T20I status. ^[1]

This list will comprise all members of the Zambia cricket team who have played at least one T20I match. It is initially arranged in the order in which each player won his first Twenty20 cap. Where more than one player will win his first Twenty20 cap in the same match, those players will be listed alphabetically by surname (according to the name format used by Cricinfo).

Zambia will play their first match with T20I status on 4 December 2025 against Nigeria during the 2025 West Africa Trophy.
