However, Musonda’s role in Zimbabwe cricket dates back to even before the team earned international status.
Having been appointed as captain in 2018, the stalwart conceded the immense responsibility she had to take women’s cricket in Zimbabwe forward.
“Captaining Zimbabwe Women meant carrying more than results. It meant carrying the hopes of a growing game,” she said.
“We weren’t just playing matches, we were helping lay a foundation for the next generation, where every performance mattered in shifting perceptions and opening doors.
“It wasn’t just the captaincy title – it was everything it represented . . . it felt like all those quiet battles had come full circle. More than personal achievement, it meant something bigger.”
