When I read the word "Younghusband" I thought this must be spam! 
Thanks for sharing this story. I then stumbled over this remarkable article about his older brother: http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/5540629 ... black-belt, which also states that the family left their tobacco farm and subsequently Zim in 2002. Not sure if they are related to the British officer and explorer Francis Younghusband who invaded Tibet in 1903.

Who was the last Zim-born substitute fielder with no international caps before Younghusband who took an international catch for his adopted country? (The answer is buried somewhere in the Photo Quiz ...)Surprised you didn't use this as a quiz question.
