Profile
Cham, or Chamu, Chibhabha is a promising allrounder who bats up the order and bowls more-than-useful seamers. He was fast-tracked into the national side in 2005 after the loss of senior players, and after an inauspicious start (he made a duck in an ODI against India and struggled in the U-19 Afro Asian Cup) he came good with back-to-back fifties in the opening matches of the tour of the Caribbean in 2006. Coming from the townships, he was well coached under the ZC development programme and has a sound technique, with the discipline to play straight. On the West Indian tour he suffered from a back problem that affected his bowling, so he was forced to concentrate on batting, where he showed character and promise in the crucial No. 3 position. He was particularly impressive in playing their quick bowlers, but needs to gain experience and work on building big innings. He is a superb fielder, usually in the covers. His sister Julia is Zimbabwe's leading black scorer.
