Profile and recent form

Chamu Chibhabha is a promising batting allrounder for Zimbabwe and has also been quite handy with the ball. A top-order, right-handed batsman, Chibhabha has found more success in the shorter formats and is a live wire on the field.

After a forgettable start of his career when he scored a duck in his debut match and then struggled in the Under-19 Afro-Asian Cup, he bounced back well with back to back half-centuries in the opening matches of the tour of the Caribbean.

The 29-year-old can bowl seamers at a decent pace off a considerably short run-up and has the ability to surprise the batsman. He could be a really useful player in a team and cover up if a bowler has an off on the field.

While he has been disappointing in his primary role during the last 5 matches by scoring just 58 runs at a substandard average of 11.60, he grabbed 5 wickets at an impressive average of 9.80, including his career best of 4/25 against Afghanistan.
