Yesterday we came across the Head Coach of Rwanda Cricket Women, Leonard Nhamburo, at St. George's in Harare and we couldn't pass up the chance to present him with our 2023 tournament memorabilia proudly sponsored by Carhub Vehicle Hire.

We recognize the hard yards the former Zimbabwe Cricket Women Coach and Namibia Women Coach is putting in Rwanda and we are always standing ready to learn from his wealth of experience. We appreciate your support in all cricket-related activities especially those involving the development of the game.

Nhamburo, "the Tactician" as Rwanda media calls him, is enjoying time off work and is currently on vacation in his home country Zimbabwe.
