The tournament ends on December 9.
“This is a very prestigious event for bowlers worldwide as it is only held after every four years and runs parallel with the Olympic Games. We hope they will perform to the best of their ability,” said Malcolm.
The team left the country on Thursday.
Evans said the team left early as it needed time to adjust to the weather conditions in Adelaide, so that the players wouldn’t be affected.
The Zimbabwe squad consists of five players: captain Roy Garden, Tom Craven, Manuel Silva, Richie Hayden, Clive Robertson and team manager Kevin McGeoch.
Zimbabwe would be one of the four African countries that would take part at the event, after Botswana, Namibia and South Africa.
