Cricketer Tarisai Musakanda says sticking to basics has helped him to progress well in his career and settle well in Zimbabwe A squad.

The 21-year-old former Under 19 player is being touted as one of the future bright prospects of Zimbabwean cricket and he has backed his billing with good knocks for the Zimbabwe A, Zimbabwe Developmental XI and for his franchise the Mid West Rhinos.

Musakanda has been able to command starting XI place in the Zimbabwe A squad since last year on tours against Afghanistan A and Pakistan A.

“I have come a long way,” Musakanda told SportsZone.

“There comes a time when everything starts but now I have realised how to work on the smallest of things, the smallest of information; that’s very important.”

In the first One Day game against Pakistan A on Monday, Musakanda top scored for Zimbabwe A but there was no other significant contributions to aid his efforts to set a competitive total.

“ Throughout games that I have played I have learnt to keep it simple, just doing things that are there don’t think ahead, don’t think behind. That way I think I am going to keep myself in the squad and keeping myself moving forward,” he said.
