Ed Rainsford is a tall coloured player who won early
selection for the Zimbabwe national squad against Sri Lanka in 2004
when the 'rebel' players withdrew. He is a right-arm seam bowler who
aims to be genuinely quick. He has developed an excellent yorker,
which works best with left-handers as his stock delivery swings the
ball into them. Rainsford grew up in the Midlands town of Kadoma,
and despite attending a minor cricket-playing junior school showed
little interest in the game until he was 11, when his father, who
had played at school himself, coached him and fired his enthusiasm.
One of his older brothers played for Midlands in the early nineties
before the Logan Cup acquired first-class status. After five years
in the first team at Jameson High in Kadoma, he was so 'hungry' for
cricket that he would catch a lift three times a week to Kwekwe, 45
miles away, to practise with the National League club team there.
This led to selection for Midlands in the Logan Cup, as well as the
Under-19 World Cup team and the CFX Academy in 2004
