Elton Chigumbura (born 14 March 1986) is a Zimbabwean former cricketer, who played for the national cricket team between 2004 and 2020.[3]
He was educated at Churchill School (Harare) and made his debut at the age of 18, amidst the rebel crisis and played 14 Test matches. Chigumbura was the most capped player in the Zimbabwean ODI squad at the time, with more than 200 caps.
In May 2015, Chigumbura made his maiden ODI century, against Pakistan in Lahore, in his 174th ODI match.[4] With more than 4,000 runs and 100 wickets in ODIs, he is widely regarded as one of Zimbabwe's greatest all-rounders. In June 2016, during India's tour to Zimbabwe, he played in his 200th ODI match, with 197 of these for Zimbabwe and three for Africa XI.[5]
In November 2020, Chigumbura retired from international cricket following the conclusion of the T20I series against Pakistan.[6]
