The 21-year-old seamer headlines the squad as one of three players yet to make their full international debuts alongside Antum Naqvi and Anesu Kamuriwo. For Chataira, it could well be the final audition before breaking into Zimbabwe’s senior national team.
Having impressed with pace and control in domestic competitions over the past two seasons, Chataira has steadily built a reputation as a consistent wicket-taker capable of troubling even the most experienced batters.
The historic match also marks MCC’s first tour of Zimbabwe since 1964–65, adding a layer of significance to the occasion. The touring side, led by Glamorgan’s Will Smale, features several players with first-class and List A experience, ensuring a stern test for Chataira and his teammates.
Alongside more seasoned names such as Wessly Madhevere, Clive Madande, and Tafadzwa Tsiga, Chataira’s debut will draw considerable attention as fans and selectors alike look for signs of the next great Zimbabwean pacer.
