FINANCIAL services institution CABS has injected US$50,000 to support Zimbabwe’s five provincial franchise teams, which represent the pinnacle of domestic cricket in the country.
CABS Managing Director Mehluli Mpofu said the sponsorship goes beyond the game and is a commitment to helping fulfil the dreams of young Zimbabweans. The five teams—Tuskers, Rhinos, Eagles, Southern Rocks, and Mega Market Mountaineers—compete in Zimbabwe’s top-flight cricket competitions: the Logan Cup, Pro50 Championship, and Domestic T20.
“This sponsorship is more than support for cricket. It is a commitment to the dreams of Zimbabwe’s young people. Across the country, there are talented, passionate young people who see sport as a pathway to opportunity, purpose, and pride. At CABS, we recognise that potential.
“By investing in domestic cricket, we are answering their call, building platforms for growth, and helping shape a future where every young Zimbabwean has a chance to shine,” said Mpofu in a statement.
Cricket sponsorship is not new territory for CABS. The financial institution’s relationship with the game spans more than two decades, with its first sponsorship of T20 cricket dating back to 2004. Since then, CABS has supported the sport at various levels, helping discover and nurture young talent across Zimbabwe’s sporting landscape.
“We are grateful to CABS for coming on board as a valued partner in our domestic cricket journey. This kind of corporate support plays an important role in strengthening the game’s foundation and enabling long-term growth. For our provincial teams, it means greater stability and the ability to invest more consistently in key areas such as player welfare, coaching, and talent development. These are essential to building a stronger pipeline for the future of Zimbabwean cricket,” said Zimbabwe Cricket Managing Director Givemore Makoni.
