Zimbabwe cricket once stood tall among the world’s best. The Chevrons displayed fearless batting, disciplined bowling, and exceptional fielding. Legends like Heath Streak, Andy Flower, and Tatenda Taibu carried the nation’s hopes. Their victories over top nations brought pride and unity.
Zimbabwe became respected, feared, and admired in global cricket circles. The team showcased talent that rivaled giants. Cricket fans filled stadiums, celebrating every victory with passion. The Chevrons were more than a team—they symbolized national pride.
However, those golden days now feel distant. Today, Zimbabwe cricket faces turmoil, underperformance, and growing frustration from fans, politicians, and even former leaders.

Former Zanu-PF Central Committee member roars as Zim Cricket and Chevrons struggle
The Chevrons have struggled badly in recent years. Missed tournaments, inconsistent performances, and boardroom battles have overshadowed the game. Criticism continues to mount from fans and leaders alike. Recently, Sports Minister David Coltart criticized Zimbabwe Cricket’s handling of issues.
The board quickly defended itself on X, sparking heated debate. Seizing the moment, former Zanu-PF MP Dexter Nduna voiced strong opinions. He warned that personal fights are destroying the game. Nduna posted, “There’s no time for fooling around whilst talent is going to waste and the country isn’t benefiting anything.” His words hit hard, reflecting growing public frustration.
He urged unity, stressing that cricket must be the ultimate winner. Nduna also asked to be tagged in future debates to provide reasoning. His intervention shows just how important cricket remains in national identity. Zimbabweans want change, accountability, and above all—results.
What other Zimbabweans say
After the former Zanu-PF Central committee member Dexter Nduna gave his opinion on Zim cricket and Chevrons struggles, other Zimbabweans also had something to say.
@marvin_charles_ “There is no smear campaign. New ppl are needed at ZC”
@Xreje “There comes a time when one is called to call a spade for what it is. Your performance to date has been diabolical to say the least. Roping in names (Coltart in the instance) does absolutely nothing to to deal with your pathetic nonsense on the field. Sort out your shit”
@MajubaNyandeni “Beyond ignominious . This is the final nail on Zimbabwe Cricket’s coffin.”
@mambogary “Zimbabwe Cricket died a long time ago in my late teens when the likes of Graeme Flower, Andy Flower, Olonga etc et al were dismissed for a political statement against a team I am not so sure of. I am confident it is New Zealand Cricket. I stand to be corrected”
