“From humble beginnings of being an airtime seller at one stage to playing club cricket in the UK, I am looking forward to flying higher as I illustrate it all in the upcoming documentary.”

“Cricket has always been my first love, though I did play football and dabbled in athletics for a bit during my formative years,” he said.
“I started playing cricket when I was in Grade Three and was introduced to the sport by a man by the name of Mr Gwatiringa.
“I can’t, for the life of me, remember his first name. I played provincial cricket for Mountaineers from Under-14 level right up to Under-19, and also had stints with the Mashonaland East Cricket Association, also known as MECA, and Titans.”
