Zimbabwe Cricket Director Hamilton Masakadza steps down amid T20 World Cup disappointment

Hamilton Masakadza, the former Zimbabwe cricket star, has announced his resignation from the position of Director of Cricket at Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) following the team’s failure to secure qualification for the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.

Masakadza’s decision to step down comes in the wake of Zimbabwe’s disappointing performance in the Africa Qualifier tournament, where they finished third. Despite early promise, losses to Namibia and Uganda dashed their hopes of progressing to the T20 World Cup, with Namibia and Uganda securing the qualifying spots instead.
