Profile

Matthew Townshend learned his cricketing skills under the guidance of Dave Houghton and was one of the first intake when the Zimbabwe Academy opened in 1999. He toured Kenya with a Zimbabwean development team in 2000, but his bowling always suffered from a tendency to bowl too many wides and no-balls. Both his father Derrick and uncle Trevor played for Rhodesia in the late 1960s in the South African Currie Cup.
