Zimbabwe Cricket Chairman Tavengwa Mukuhlani has been named as the Interim Chairman of the Africa Cricket Association (ACA) at the organisation’s annual general meeting held in Harare on Saturday.
He will lead the continental body for the next six months. His interim tenure is expected to usher in a period of transformation, emphasising the expansion of cricket’s popularity, the deepening of talent development programmes and the increase of competitive opportunities for African teams on the global stage.
Commenting on his appointment, Mukuhlani said: “One of the outcomes of the AGM is to restructure the ACA – its governance structures, its constitution and, along with that, the general council did come up with a resolution that there will be an interim committee that I will chair for the next six months until we have the next AGM in May.
“This is a unique opportunity for us to set up robust pathways for players, coaches and administrators in our region. With the support of the ACA members, I am confident we can achieve significant milestones in the months ahead.”
The Mukuhlani-led interim committee also includes South Africa’s Riaan Richards, Nigeria’s Uyi Akpata, Rwanda’s Stephen Musale, Uganda’s Michael Nuwagabs and Sierra Leone’s Franklyn Conteh.
The ACA, representing 23 cricketing nations, is a vital force in promoting unity and collaboration within the African cricketing community, driving the sport’s development and accessibility across the continent.
