Captaining zimbabwe women

T20 World Cup: Mary-Anne Musonda, captain of the Zimbabwe women's national cricket team, announced her retirement from all forms of cricket on Monday. This ends a career that played a key role in developing the women's game in the country.

The 34-year-old, who last represented Zimbabwe at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 Qualifier two years ago, said her decision was influenced by more than just her performance on the field. “From the outside it might seem like there’s still more left in the tank, and, in many ways, there is,” Musonda said in a statement from Zimbabwe Cricket.

“But this decision wasn’t only about performance or ability. It was a mix of timing, perspective, and physical reality. At 34, I became more aware that it wasn’t just about whether I could keep playing. It was also about whether I could keep asking my body to perform at that level over and over again.”
