Profile

Elton Chigumbura, who was fast-tracked into the Zimbabwe national side in the absence of the 'rebel' players, made his first-class debut for Mashonaland in the Logan Cup at the age of only 15. In Zimbabwean domestic cricket he is a genuine allrounder, an aggressive batsman at No. 4 or No. 5 and a seam bowler who comes on as first or second change. He is a product of the ZCU development programme and took to the game at Chipembere Primary School in the Highfield township of Harare. A protégé of coach Stephen Mangongo, he won a ZCU scholarship to Churchill High School and plays for Takashinga Sports Club. He has represented Zimbabwe in two Under-19 World Cups and is in his fourth year with that squad. He took four wickets in the Zimbabwe's sensational victory over Australia in the Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh, and despite looking out of his depth on Test debut against Sri Lanka, he appeared a much-improved player by the time of the Champions Trophy five months later. He was forced to sit out much of 2005 after sustaining a stress fracture of the back during the South Africa tour in March of that year. When fit, he is Zimbabwe's fastest current bowler at more than 140 km/h, but played as a specialist batsman on the West Indies tour due to his injury. His only success was an innings of 60 off 59 balls in the fourth ODI, but coach Kevin Curran noted his increasing maturity and greater self-discipline. He particularly enjoys the lofted drive and is a very good, athletic outfielder.
