Brandon Mavuta is one of Zimbabwe’s most exciting spin-bowling prospects, having already represented the national side in 32 matches across all three formats.
The leg-spinning all-rounder made an immediate impact on his Test debut against Bangladesh in November 2018, taking 4/21 in the second innings. Earlier that year, he had already earned his ODI and T20I caps.
After a five-year absence from international cricket, Mavuta returned to the Test arena in February 2023 and wasted no time making his mark. He claimed his maiden five-wicket haul (5-140 from 41 overs), dismissing five of the top seven batters, including Mayers, Reifer, Blackwood, Chase, and Holder. He then demonstrated his all-round capabilities with a composed 56 in Zimbabwe’s first innings. In the second Test, he continued his impressive form, taking 3-73 (24 overs), adding Chanderpaul to his wicket tally alongside Blackwood and Mayers for a second time each.
With his talent and ability to perform on the big stage, Mavuta has a bright future ahead.
His rise began in early 2016 when he represented Zimbabwe at the ICC Under-19 World Cup. A month later, he made his first-class debut in the Logan Cup. That same year, he excelled in England with Thongsbridge, topping the Drakes Huddersfield League wicket charts while making valuable contributions with the bat.
In early 2017, he earned his Zimbabwe A debut in a List A match against Afghanistan before topping both the Logan Cup and Pro50 wicket charts for the Rising Stars in 2017/18. His performances earned him an ODI debut in July 2018, followed by a T20I debut in September. Shortly after, he was drafted by Durban Heat for South Africa’s inaugural Mzansi Super League T20 tournament. His rapid rise culminated in a memorable Test debut in November 2018.
Unfortunately, COVID disrupted his momentum just as he was establishing himself on the international stage. However, with the return of cricket, Mavuta has continued to deliver notable performances, particularly in T20s, earning further national call-ups.
With over 350 domestic wickets to his name, he is also a more-than-capable batter, boasting a first-class century (104*) and eight fifties.
Now, Mavuta is eager to take his game to the next level and is actively seeking global opportunities for 2025 and beyond.
