Player Bio

Born in Zimbabwe, Tawanda Muyeye grew up playing tape ball cricket and after his visa got approved by the home office in 2021, he signed his first professional contract with Kent. A product of Eastbourne College, where he has been coached by former Kent players Rob Ferley and James Tredwell, the 20-year old was named Wisden’s School Cricketer of the year. 

Muyeye is a highly talented, attacking batsman, and a useful off-spinner with an outstanding schoolboy record. The right-hander made one of only two double-centuries in schools cricket in 2019, a feat Muyeye also achieved in 2018, an Eastbourne College first. He finished with 1,112 runs at an average of 69.50 for the season, the third-most in the country.

Muyeye was named a reserve for Zimbabwe’s 2018 U-19 Cricket World Cup squad. However, his ambition is to qualify and play for England, and Sussex have displayed an interest in the youngster. He is also the best off-spinner in his age group in County. and he claimed 23 wickets last year making him one of the best and youngest prospects for Kent cricket.
