Deandra Dottin will miss West Indies' tour of Zimbabwe as she has been granted personal leave, while captain Hayley Matthews will play the three ODIs before taking personal leave and missing the three T20Is. But West Indies will be boosted by the return of allrounder Chinelle Henry, who suffered an injury during the T20 World Cup in June.
Henry missed West Indies' tour of Ireland, but was back in action in the Hundred and the WCPL. She replaces Qiana Joseph, who has been dropped on form.
Replacing Dottin in the squad is 17-year-old Eboni Brathwaite, who has two T20I caps and played in the WCPL.
The rest of the squad is the same that took on Ireland in three ODIs in July.
"They are a side we haven't played much, and, in their conditions, there will be some challenges," head coach Shane Deitz said. "We have a young squad, so this is a great opportunity for some players to step up and take their opportunity at this level."
The series comprises three ODIs on September 24, 27 and 30 in Harare and three T20Is on October 3, 5 and 7 in Highfield. CWI didn't specify who will lead the side in the T20I series.
