Zimbabwe Cricket ends domestic season with no winners

Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) has annulled the 2019/20 domestic season due to the coronavirus pandemic.

This means the first-class competition, the Logan Cup, and the List A contest, the Pro50 Championship, have been voided, with no winners being declared.

The premier domestic competitions – which were underway before the government suspended all sporting activities as part of nationwide restrictions aimed at curbing the spread of the novel virus that is ravaging the world – were originally supposed to be completed by the end of April.

“We were looking forward to the conclusion of our season, but seeing what is happening in our country and elsewhere across the world, we realised it was not realistic for us to expect our competitions to resume anytime soon,”

ZC director of cricket Hamilton Masakadza said.
“ZC therefore decided to void the 2019/20 season with immediate effect and we will not declare a winner or award any of the trophies as teams had not played an equal number of games when the season was curtailed.”

At the time of the void caused by the Great Pause, Tuskers headed the Pro50 Championship while Eagles were on course to snap the winning streak of Logan Cup defending champions Mountaineers. The T20 championship had not started.
