The Importance of the T20 Women’s World Cup

For Zimbabwe, qualifying for the Women’s T20 World Cup is not just about making a mark in women’s cricket but also about inspiring a new generation of female athletes in the country.

Zimbabwe’s squad boasts a mix of experienced campaigners and promising newcomers. Key players who are expected to play a central role include the team captain and the leading all-rounder, whose performances in regional games have been noteworthy.

Support from Zimbabwe Cricket

ZC’s Managing Director, Givemore Makoni, has expressed optimism about Walsh’s involvement, highlighting the positive expectations surrounding his appointment and the future of women’s cricket in Zimbabwe.

“We count ourselves fortunate and privileged to be able to bring in Courtney as a technical consultant for our campaign at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier in Abu Dhabi. He is one of the world’s greatest cricketers and we believe his experience at the highest level of the women’s game in particular will boost our chances of securing one of the two spots up for grabs at the main global showpiece later in the year,” ZC Managing Director Givemore Makoni said.
