ZIMBABWE senior men’s cricket team assistant coach Stuart Matsikenyeri wants local cricketers to take their good domestic form to the international stage when the country begins its international schedule later this year.
This follows the conclusion of the 2023-2024 Logan Cup season, which saw Matsikenyeri’s Mountaineers crowned champions.
The season saw several batting records being broken.
A total of 36 centuries, four double centuries and a triple century were scored during the 2023/2024 Logan Cup season.
There were also 66 half-centuries and nine individual scores between 150 and 199 runs.
“It has been good to see batters spend time at the crease and score big,” said Matsikenyeri.
“It is encouraging and hopefully we can see guys bringing these sorts of performances to international cricket.”
