Zimbabwe’s women’s High Performance Centre squad is set to represent the country at the upcoming Kwibuka Women’s T20 Tournament in Kigali, Rwanda. The team, coached by Stephen Mangongo and led by captain Nomvelo Sibanda, will compete with eight other national women’s teams from Brazil, Cameroon, Malawi, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, and Uganda. The tournament, running from June 3 to 14, promises to be an exciting display of cricketing talent.
The Zimbabwean squad blends youthful upcoming players with experienced seniors. Players like Kelly Ndiraya, Natasha Mthomba, and Vimbai Mutingwindu bring fresh energy, while veterans like Nomvelo Sibanda, Christabel Chatonzwa, and Loryn Phiri will provide leadership and guidance. The team’s participation in the Kwibuka tournament is part of Zimbabwe Cricket’s long-term strategy to build depth in the women’s game.
The tournament serves as crucial preparation for Zimbabwe Women ahead of their debut in the ICC Women’s Championship later this year. With a talented 15-member squad, Zimbabwe is poised to make a strong impression in Rwanda. The team’s performance will be closely watched, and their experience gained from the tournament will undoubtedly benefit the national women’s team in the years to come.
