Masakadza ZC's first Director of Cricket
Recently retired Zimbabwe player Hamilton Masakadza will begin his new role of director of cricket (DoC) for Zimbabwe Cricket next month, the ICC said.
He will be Zimbabwe's first DoC, a position created as part of a restructuring approved by the board at their last meeting in August. In this role he will provide oversight to the national team, and be responsible for "recruitment, management and interaction of senior cricket technical staff within the cricket affairs department" as well as "defining policy, strategy and programmes of 'best practice' throughout all aspects of the ZC cricket pathway"
During his 19-year international career Masakadza represented his country more than 300 times – in 68 Tests, 209 ODIs, and 66 T20Is. In this time he racked up more than 2000 Test runs, as well as 5658 runs and 39 wickets in ODIs. Masakadza retired from international cricket only last month, finishing on a high by scoring 71 from only 42 balls in a tight victory over Afghanistan during the Bangladesh T20I tri-series. He was also captain in all three formats for his country, meaning he will now oversee the appointment of his successor.
