adminZIMBABWE Cricket (ZC) delayed the Logan Cup matches, which were due to start on Saturday, by one day.
This was done to honour the late coach, Shepherd Makunura, who was buried on the same day.
Makunura, who at the time of his passing on Thursday was doubling up as Fielding Coach with the Zimbabwe Senior Men’s National Team and Head Coach at provincial side Southern Rocks, was laid to rest at Warren Hills.
As a result, ZC took the decision to delay by 24 hours the Logan Cup fixtures originally pencilled in to start on Saturday in order to allow players, officials and other cricket stakeholders to attend the funeral.
This means the four-day matches pitting Southern Rocks against Mega Market Mountaineers at Harare Sports Club and Tuskers versus Eagles at Old Hararians Sports Club only got underway yesterday. The teams observed a moment of silence while the players and officials also wore black armbands as a mark of respect for the late Makunura. – zimcricket
