Natsai M’shangwe (born 9 February 1991) is an international cricketer. He made his ODI debut in a match against the Netherlands. He is an all-rounder. Mushwange's favourite cricketer is Pakistan's all-rounder Shahid Afridi; he is his favourite cricketer because Afridi is a flamboyant batter with a good ability to ball legbreak, similar to that of Mushangwe.[1] While representing the Zimbabwe XI in a match, M’shangwe scored 7 runs before getting out. He didn't take any wickets, but did have a low economy rate.[2] In the next match M’shangwe showed his all-round ability by scoring 11 runs for the final wicket and taking the wicket of Netherlands opener Eric Szwarczynski.[3]
Early and domestic career
Mushangwe is a leg-spinner. Mushangwe is part of the emerging Zimbabwean players to help Zimbabwean Cricket improve and to aid its return to the Test Arena[4] which Zimbabwe stopped playing in 2006 but will return to after the 2011 Cricket World Cup.[5] Mushangwe also has the ability to bat in the lower order. He has a high score of 53, and his batting gives the selectors a certain amount of safeguard about the top order of the team.
He was the leading wicket-taker in the 2017–18 Pro50 Championship, with seventeen dismissals in eight matches.[6]
International career
He made his Test match debut for Zimbabwe against Bangladesh on 3 November 2014.[7]
In June 2018, he was named in a Board XI team for warm-up fixtures ahead of the 2018 Zimbabwe Tri-Nation Series.[8]
