Bulawayo Athletic Club

Bulawayo Athletic Club

Bulawayo Athletic Club is a cricket club that competes in Zimbabwe's National League competition. It is also the name given to the club's ground. It can hold over 12,000 spectators.

The ground has hosted a single Test match against New Zealand in November 1992. It was thus the second venue in Zimbabwe to host a Test match. A One Day International was played there just prior to the Test.

The Test match was hit by poor weather, poor attendances and a poor wicket. Along with these factors, the local cricket administrators believed that nearby Queens Sports Club had better potential as an international venue. Therefore, when Test cricket was next played in Bulawayo, it was at that venue instead.

The ground was affected by fire, causing damages of up to USD$400,000, in mid 2007.

According to [http://www.brmtaylor.com/club_players.html brmtaylor.com] , its 2007-08 squad is as follows:

Bulawayo Athletic Club - Matthew Williams, Tawanda Mupariwa, Tafadzwa Ngulube, John Nyumbu, Freedom Takarusenga, Tinashe Hove, Bonaparte Mujuru, Tafadzwa Madhiri, Mbekezeli Mabuza, Brian Mukondiwa
