Tadiwanashe Marumani

Tadiwanashe Marumani is a top-order batter, who rose through the age groups in Zimbabwe cricket from Under-13s to Under-19s, then to the A side and now international cricket. Marumani's first stint in the Zimbabwe jersey was when he was picked for the 2020 Under-19 World Cup held in South Africa. He finished the tournament as the fourth-highest run-scorer, and the highest for Zimbabwe: 257 runs in six games at an average of 42.83.

It didn't take Marumani long to make his first-class debut turning out for Rocks in March 2021. Barely a month later, he made his T20 debut for Rocks and recorded four half-centuries in his first five games. That led to him being picked for Zimbabwe's three-match T20I series against Pakistan a few days later, where he earned his first international cap. He didn't have the most auspicious of starts bagging a first-ball duck on debut but he got up to speed in his next two outings. In July 2021, Marumani got his ODI cap in a three-match series against Bangladesh in Harare.

After two relatively lukewarm seasons with Rocks in the Logan Cup where he averaged 19.61, Marumani switched to Mashonaland Eagles ahead of the 2022-23 season and he immediately struck form. In his first season there, he scored 218 runs in five innings, averaging 54.50. Then in the 2023-24 edition of the Logan Cup, Marumani amassed 630 runs in 11 innings at 70.00 which included three fifties and two centuries.
