In a significant development for Zimbabwean cricket, Hamilton Masakadza has announced his resignation from the role of Director of Cricket, a position he held for over four years. His departure marks the end of a tenure that saw both progress and setbacks for the national team.
The Journey of Masakadza
Hamilton Masakadza, a name synonymous with Zimbabwean cricket, took over the reins as Director of Cricket in October 2019. His appointment came after a distinguished international playing career, where he represented Zimbabwe in 38 Tests and 275 white-ball internationals.
Achievements Under His Leadership
During his tenure, Masakadza oversaw some notable achievements. Zimbabwe qualified for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022, where they reached the Super 12 stage⁴. Additionally, under his guidance, Zimbabwe successfully hosted the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Qualifier 2022 and the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Qualifier 2023.
The Setbacks
Despite the progress, Masakadza’s tenure was not without its challenges. The failure to qualify for the 2024 T20 World Cup in the USA and the Caribbean was a significant blow. Zimbabwe’s unexpected loss to Uganda was a decisive factor in their disqualification, marking one of the lowest points in Masakadza’s career.
