Zimbabwe Women’s cricket captain Mary-Anne Musonda has announced her retirement from all forms of cricket.
The 34-year-old last represented Zimbabwe during the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 in Abu Dhabi.
Having initially been sidelined by injury, she has since decided to step aside and focus on the next chapter of her life.
Explaining her decision, Musonda said her retirement was shaped by a combination of physical demands and personal growth rather than a decline in ability.
“From the outside it might seem like there’s still more left in the tank – and, in many ways, there is. But this decision wasn’t only about performance or ability. It was a combination of timing, perspective and physical reality,” she said.
“At 34, I became more aware that it wasn’t just about whether I could keep playing, but whether it was sustainable to keep asking my body to operate at that level over and over again.”
