RELATIONS

Donald Tiripano is an accurate seam-bowling allrounder with nearly a decade-long career for Zimbabwe across all formats. He has over 300 first-class wickets and over 3000 first-class runs across 100-plus appearances.

He grew up in a ghetto, got a scholarship at Mutare school and was inspired by Heath Streak, Trevor Madondo and later by Tino Mawoyo. He followed in the footsteps of Elton Chigumbura to become a bowling allrounder.

Consistent success with Mountaineers in the early 2010s earned Tiripano Test and ODI debuts with Zimbabwe in 2014. In November 2016, he defended three runs in the final over against West Indies at Queens Sports Club to secure a tie, a performance that holds dear to him.

Along with the ability to swing and seam the ball, he added cutters and a homespun back-of-the-hand slower ball to his repertoire in limited-overs cricket, later in his career.

Tiripano worked very hard on his batting and topped the run-scoring charts for Mountaineers in the 2017-18 Logan Cup competition. Sixteen of his 19 first-class fifties, including his 95 against Afghanistan in 2021, came after 2017. He was part of Mountaineers' Logan Cup winning squad in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2024.

Tiripano is married to former Zimbabwe Women captain Chipo Mugeri.
