Masakadza has been a warrior for the minnows recently

While Zimbabwe as a cricketing team may not be a powerhouse like they once they used to be, they are an integral part of cricket because of the talented players they have produced and have been producing over the years. The period between 1997-2002 was their golden period in cricket. In the 1999 world cup, they had scored victories over India and South Africa only to lose a place in the semi-final to New Zealand, owing to an inferior run-rate. The signs of decline started to show, courtesy of the political situations from which Zimbabwe cricket is still struggling to recover.
