Cricket affairs department

The Zimbabwe Cricket: The Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) Board has adopted the comprehensive report presented by a Committee of Inquiry that was established to probe Zimbabwe’s World Cup qualification failures as well as to review its cricket affairs structure.

Zimbabwe had failed to qualify for the 2023 Men's ODI World Cup despite being the hosts of the qualifying tournament in June last year and even missed the opportunity to grab a place in 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup, to be held from June 1-29 in the USA and West Indies, which led to the resignation of head coach Dave Houghton.

Walter Chawaguta, who coached Zimbabwe in 2008, had taken over as interim head coach for the white-ball tour of Sri Lanka last month. The three-member Committee, chaired by renowned lawyer Lloyd Mhishi, presented its report to the Board after gathering input from various stakeholders, both internal and external.
