Zimbabwe hosts 23-member Africa Cricket Association AGM this weekend

Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) is set to host the Africa Cricket Association (ACA)’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Harare on Saturday, 2 November.

The prestigious event will bring together top cricket administrators, officials and stakeholders from across Africa to discuss key initiatives and strategies to drive the growth and sustainability of cricket on the continent.

Issues to be addressed at the AGM include game development, infrastructure investment, competitive opportunities and fostering strong governance across member countries.

“We are looking forward to welcoming delegates from across the continent to our beautiful country and to constructive discussions that will benefit African cricket at all levels,” said ZC Chairman Mr Tavengwa Mukuhlani, who is also the ACA’s Interim Vice-Chairman.

“This gathering is an opportunity for Zimbabwe and the ACA community to share insights and strengthen our collaboration to build a stronger, more inclusive cricket ecosystem in Africa.”

The ACA, established in 1997, currently has 23 member countries.

The association has been pivotal in nurturing cricket’s growth in Africa, organising tournaments and development programmes to cultivate young talent and promote the sport.

This year’s AGM is expected to produce a roadmap that will accelerate cricket’s popularity and accessibility, ensuring a robust future for the sport on the continent.

“The importance of this AGM is that it’s an election year that will usher in new directors from the floor,” said ACA Executive Director Mr Cassim Suliman.

“Accountability and responsibility will be the order of the day,” he added.
