SPECIAL EPISODE: Grassroots Cricket with Tawanda Karasa

This week on ZimCricketPod, we sat down with Tawanda Karasa of GrassRoots Cricket. It's one of those conversations that reminds you why cricket matters beyond the boundary rope. GrassRoots Cricket are doing extraordinary work: sending kit to homeless children in Zimbabwe's townships, flying Australian coaches over for grassroots clinics, and getting players into schools and disadvantaged communities where cricket might otherwise never reach. Tawanda walked us through all of it, and honestly, it was humbling to hear. These are people putting in real work, quietly, for kids who deserve every opportunity. We're proud to shine a light on what they're doing, and we're genuinely excited about what's ahead as we look to work more closely with them going forward. Give this one a listen. See their work at grassrootscricket.com.au [grassrootscricket.com.au].

EXCLUSIVE: Interview with Graeme Cremer

We sit down with Graeme Cremer to unpack his return to the game and what still drives him at this stage of his career. He reflects on the highs and challenges of leading Zimbabwe as captain, how that responsibility shaped his growth as a cricketer, and what he’s learned along the way. Graeme also opens up about his current ambitions, what success looks like now, and the honest question every veteran faces — when is the right time to step away?

EXCLUSIVE: Interview with Steve Kirby

In one of our most special episodes to date, we sit down with former-Zimbabwe bowling coach Steven Kirby, a county cricket stalwart, passionate coach, and one of the most genuine men the game has to offer. Steve takes us through a remarkable career in county cricket, the transition into coaching, and what drew him to Zimbabwe. We dive deep into his 18 months as bowling coach for Zimbabwe, the unforgettable highs of the 2022 T20 World Cup campaign, and the gut-wrenching heartbreak of the ODI qualifier defeat to Scotland in Bulawayo. But more than the results, this episode is about a man who bleeds cricket. Steve was honest, emotional, and refreshingly real, sharing his thoughts on where Zimbabwe cricket goes from here and why his belief in this team has never wavered.
