Kelis Ndhlovu is one of Zimbabwe's brightest cricketing stars — a dynamic all-rounder whose impact on women's cricket has been both consistent and commanding. Renowned for her composure under pressure and ability to influence games with both bat and ball, she has swiftly risen to prominence on the domestic and international stage, already amassing 22 ODI and 68 T20I caps for Zimbabwe, with 478 runs and 19 wickets in the 50-over format and 1,208 runs and 44 wickets in T20Is.
Her talent earned global recognition in April 2023 when she was shortlisted for the ICC's "Player of the Month," a testament to her growing stature in the sport. This followed a string of dominant performances, most notably being named "Player of the Tournament" in the 2022/23 T20 season, where she also starred in both tournament finals — earning "Player of the Match" honours in the T20 final (Eagles vs Rhinos) and the Fifty50 final (Eagles vs Mountaineers).
This wasn't a one-off. Ndhlovu had already claimed the "Player of the Tournament" title in the 2021/22 T20 season, and was also crowned "Batter of the Tournament" for her consistent top-order performances. She continued her fine form in individual matches, regularly stepping up in key encounters — including match-winning efforts for the Eagles against both the Mountaineers and the Tuskers.
Not just a force with the bat, Ndhlovu's bowling prowess came to the fore during the 2022/23 Fifty50 season, where she was named "Bowler of the Tournament," highlighting her ability to turn games with the ball just as effectively.
On the international stage, she's already proven her match-winning quality — notably in the 2022 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier, where she was named "Player of the Match" against Thailand, and again in the playoff against the UAE.
Kelis backed all of this up with a superb UK club campaign in 2026, scoring 930 runs at an average of 51.67 for Burgess Hill CC—including three centuries, headlined by a top score of 174*—and adding 6 wickets at 14.17 with the ball.
With accolades piling up and a growing reputation as a game-changer, Ndhlovu is no longer looking at UK club cricket, but is instead eyeing global franchise league opportunities around the world as the next step in her career.
