Despite enduring arguably the worst year in its history, Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) has ironically emerged stronger and ready to take the game to the next level.
Presenting the chairman’s report, he bemoaned the suspension of Zimbabwe’s membership by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the coronavirus pandemic as the biggest challenges that ZC faced during the 2019/20 season.
The suspension of Zimbabwe’s membership over what the ICC had deemed as government interference in ZC’s affairs inevitably saw Zimbabwe missing out on both the women’s and men’s ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier 2019 tournaments.
“You will probably recall that when I was first elected as ZC chairperson in 2015, I made it clear that my board’s top priority would be to address our game’s perennial viability challenges and to forge a sustainable financial and cricket future for our country,” Mukuhlani said.
ZC acting managing director Givemore Makoni also reiterated that the organisation would prioritise boosting game development as well as domestic and international cricket structures.
