Australia won't be playing cricket against Zimbabwe this September, and many Zimbabweans are no longer playing for their country. The situation in Zimbabwe is such that people can barely think about the future let alone plan for it. The situation is such that today millions of Zimbabweans live somewhere else. And they all reminisce about what their nation could be.
The 'Play for Zimbabwe' idea grew from the desire to do something to recognise the significance of Australia's decision and of the diasporic Zimbabwean community.
It recognises that Zimbabweans, wherever they are, are tired of hearing only bad news and of feeling like all their battles are always against something. It recognises that Zimbabweans, like all people, want to feel they have something worth celebrating. It recognises that the youth of Zimbabwe, wherever they are now, are always looking for ways to show their love for their nation.
'Play for Zimbabwe' is a celebration that allows us to do that. And it can happen anywhere. It is happening everywhere.

Proudly Zimbabwean
What this is
- Play for Zimbabwe
- A day set aside for Zimbabweans to celebrate their humour, hope and resilience. On Saturday 1st September, Zimbabweans everywhere will set up stumps, raise their bats and start bowling in an afternoon of cricket that is free and in line with the international laws on fair play.
