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 ...)

The guy must have married before they moved to NZ, earning him this surname?

That is a great story too. Lot of cases like this from Zim. this guy, that sister of Bezuindenhout, Dean du Plessis...

As soon as I saw the name it rang a bell, we (Kent) just signed this guy very recently.
I'll have to keep an eye on his progress
