Alex Falao is an exciting talent currently making waves in Zimbabwean cricket.
A seam bowling all-rounder, his contributions, mainly with ball in hand already make him stand out. His performances since 2022 are impressive, with a good mix of formats under his belt—13 first-class matches, 6 List A, 6 T20s, and 3 Pro 50 Emerging games.
His 3 five-wicket hauls in first-class cricket (5/40 & 7/95 in the same match v the Tuskers and 5/57 v the Mountaineers) and a standout performance against Pakistan Under-19s (5/58 from 9 overs) for Zimbabwe Under 19s, really showcase his potential as a bowler. Winning the Zimbabwe T20 and the Logan Cup in 2023 also highlights his ability to perform in crucial moments.
What’s equally exciting is his batting, with a first-class half-century to his name, showing that he has more to offer with the bat. His eagerness to further develop his batting skills could be key in making him a true all-rounder, capable of changing games with both bat and ball. If he keeps developing in this direction, he could become a real asset for Zimbabwe at the national level in the years to come. He has been earmarked as a future international and has already played for Zimbabwe Emerging, Zimbabwe Under 19s, and most recently Zimbabwe A against Canada and Durham.
We are excited to see where Alex's talent can take him, he has a high ceiling and is developing in to a fine cricketer.
He is set to continue his development with a season in the UK this summer having signed with Malden Wanderers for their Surrey Cricket Championship (Div 1) campaign.
