It consists of:

The President
The Vice-President
The Chief Executive
the Administration Manager
the provincial chairmen for Mashonaland, Matabeleland and Mashonaland Country Districts

ZCU Secretariat

This is essentially the staff who work at the ZCU headquarters,and it consists of:

Chief Executive : Dave Ellman-Brown Administration Manager : Ian Robinson P.A. to Chief Executive : Kerry Finnigan Development/high-density coaching : Henry Motsi Academy Manager/Junior Cricket Administrator : Mike Whiley Administrative Assistant : Viola Muza

The Secretariat heads five working divisions:

Mashonaland (includes Manicaland and Midlands East -- Kadom area)
Mashonaland Country Districts
Matabeleland (includes Matabeleland Country Districts, Midlands West -- Gweru and Kwekwe area -- and Masvingo)
Umpires and Scorers
Junior and Schools Cricket

At present the smaller geographical unions are not very active, and so have been brought under the umbrella of the two major provinces. It is hoped that eventually they will become autonomous again.

The Secretariat has established a professional administrative presence in cricket in Zimbabwe, and has taken over the functions of various committees, especially those concerned with tours, domestic cricket and finance. In the past these committees were necessarily run by people who were also involved in full-time jobs.

The Chief Executive attends the meetings of the working committees and reports to the Executive Committee on their behalf. This has put Zimbabwe cricket on a more professional basis, and helped the committees to liaise with the central administration more effectively.
