Hamilton Masakadza (born 9 August 1983) is a Zimbabwean former cricketer, who played all formats of the game for Zimbabwe. He captained the national team during 2016 ICC World T20, but was relieved of his duties following an indifferent team performance in the tournament, where they failed to get past the qualifying round.[1] In February 2019, Zimbabwe Cricket confirmed that Masakadza would captain the national side across all three formats for the 2019–20 season.[2]
He was a right-handed batsman and occasional right-arm medium-pace bowler. His brothers, Shingirai Masakadza and Wellington Masakadza, also played for Zimbabwe; all three have played domestically for the Mountaineers.
He became the first player to score multiple 150-plus scores in a series or tournament, where he achieved the feat against Kenya in 2009.[3] In October 2018, during Zimbabwe's tour to South Africa, Masakadza became the fourth cricketer for Zimbabwe to play in 200 One Day International (ODI) matches.[4][5]
In September 2019, Masakadza announced that he would retire from international cricket following the conclusion of the 2019–20 Bangladesh Tri-Nation Series.[6][7] On 20 September 2019, he played in his final international cricket match for Zimbabwe, against Afghanistan.[8] In October 2019, Masakadza was appointed as Zimbabwe Cricket's director of cricket.[9]
