His appointment was confirmed at the ACA\u2019s annual general meeting in Singapore on Friday, where all 23 member associations backed his leadership.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Mukuhlani\u2019s confirmation comes at a pivotal time for African cricket, which is undergoing structural reform. The ACA has recently adopted a new memorandum of incorporation aimed at improving governance and transparency across the continent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe stand today at the threshold of a new era for African cricket \u2013 an era defined by stronger governance, broader opportunity and renewed ambition,\u201d Mukuhlani said in a statement issued by Zimbabwe Cricket. \u201cLet us continue building on the progress we have made, united by a common purpose and driven by a shared love for the game.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Among the key initiatives on the ACA\u2019s agenda are the long-awaited launch of a continent-wide Africa T20 competition, the revival of the Afro-Asia Cup, and the integration of cricket into the 2027 Africa Games in Egypt. Cricket made its debut at the Africa Games in 2023 in Ghana, where Zimbabwe won both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s events. South Africa had sent experimental squads, while Zimbabwe fielded an emerging men\u2019s team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

A seasoned administrator, Mukuhlani has led Zimbabwe Cricket since 2015, earning re-election three times. Under his leadership, ZC has managed to reduce its debt, recover from an ICC suspension over government interference, and secure a place for the women's team in the ICC\u2019s Future Tours Programme.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
