Hondo toured England in 2003 but did not do well.Ī series of back and hamstring injuries mean he has not played international cricket since January 2005.įollowing a difference of opinion with Zimbabwe Cricket, (who insisted that four players sporting dreadlocks either had their hair cut or were dropped) Hondo made his way to England. Four days later, in his next match he had the bowling figure of 4/45 against England in the same tournament. However, India recovered well thanks to the century from Kaif (111 not out) and 71 from Dravid and won the Premadasa Stadium, where he rattled the Indian top order by taking the wickets of Saurav Ganguly, Dinesh Mongia, Sachin Tendulkar and Yuvraj Singh and reduced them to 5/87. In the 2002 ICC Champions Trophy, he had another excellent performance against India at R. Hondo took the last wicket and Zimbabwe went on to win, with Hondo named as man of the match. He did not play in the first two games but in the third he took three wickets,( Dinesh Mongia, Saurav Ganguly and VVS Laxman) and, along with Pommie Mbangwa, reduced India to 4 wickets for 51 runs. Here in Australian season, he worked on his accuracy and was rewarded by being called up to the squad in India for the five-match ODI series. Hondo acquitted himself well with the bat, playing supportive innings to Andy Flower's pair of centuries, but was dismissed in the second innings with Flower stranded on 199*.ĭropped for the second Test, Hondo did play two ODIs against England but he was very inaccurate. He did not bowl well, in a poor team performance, and South Africa scored 600–3 declared, Hondo taking the wicket of Gary Kirsten for 212. Hondo assumed he was to be a net bowler but he was bowling well in the nets and then the first choice, Brighton Watambwa, was injured and Hondo made his debut.
Not wanted for the tours after dropped from Zimbabwean squad, Hondo was sent to play club cricket in Adelaide with Stuart Matsikenyeri.ĭespite this he was, surprisingly, called up for the first Test versus South Africa. Hondo was plagued by bad form, taking only 11 wickets at more than 50. When he had finished at the academy he was placed with the Midlands team in Kwekwe. A back injury put Hondo out of U19 contention for a year but he made the CFX academy in 2000.
Hondo made the Mashonaland U-13 team and then the national U-15 team.

He excelled, first as U15 captain and then in the full team, including taking 7–10 versus Gateway High School and scoring 121 versus Hillcrest. Like Tatenda Taibu and his mates, he attended Churchill School. Hondo was captain of the team in grades 6 and 7, opening the batting and the bowling. He coached the Queensdale Primary School team which consisted mainly of players who had no family background in the game due to the Rhodesian racist policies. Hondo and his brother were under the guidance of Peter Sharples, a pioneer of taking cricket into the townships, or "high-density suburbs" as they are known in Zimbabwe. Hondo was first introduced to cricket at primary school, his elder brother being the first in the family to take up the game.
