Hamilton Masakadza

from Dean at Stumps · host Dean du Plessis

Hamilton Masakadza, undoubtedly a son of the Zimbabwean soil. Hamilton Masakadza was 17 years and 352 days old when he debuted for Zimbabwe in the second test match against the West Indies at Harare sports club in 2001, and briefly held the record for being the youngest player to score a test hundred on debut. Hamilton talks in depth about that hundred, his support from his senior players at the time, his unwavering encouragement from his family, especially his Father. He also talks candidly about the setback of losing the senior players in 2004, but also believes that it accelerated the inclusion of black players. He also pays huge tribute to former West Indian player Phil Simmons, who had a massive part to play in his development, as well as the Cronje family in Bloemfontein where he attended university
