A talented batsman but a modest, hardworking
character, Stuart Matsikenyeri is the third of three school friends
from Churchill Boys High School, Harare to represent Zimbabwe in
international cricket. His debut came as an opening batsman against
Pakistan at Bulawayo in November 2002. He played one match in the
2003 World Cup, and played in the NatWest Series in England later
that year, scoring a vital 44 at Trent Bridge in a four-wicket win.
Matsikenyeri is also a useful part-time offspinner, and learned his
cricket in the black township of Highfield on the outskirts of
Harare. He has represented Zimbabwe at U16 and U19 levels, and has
also played club cricket in Australia - a vital step in his
development. But he has failed to really push on after the early
promise and has struggled against high quality pace bowling, despite
being strong on the cut and pull. He is an impressive fielder in a
variety of positions but is generally used in the gully area.
