Brian Chari’s career and ongoing Logan Cup 2025-26
Chari is an experienced Zimbabwean cricketer with 14 one-day internationals (ODIS), seven test matches and three T20 internationals for his country. Known for his consistent batting technique, he came to Test cricket where he scored both international half-centuries and 254 runs at an average of 18.14. His last international appearance was against an Odi Pakistan in 2020. In domestic cricket, Chari has been a consistent performer, working as a leading run-getter in the 2023/24 Logan Cup season.
This season features top teams including the Logan Cup, Zimbabwe’s first grade tournament, defending champions Mega Market Mountaineers and Matabeleland Tuskers. The match at the Queens Sports Club saw the tuskers take on the tuskers for the first time since the mountaineers won and dominated the field. The controversy surrounding Mupariwa laid a foundation for the Tuskers before the shock dismissal. The Logan Cup serves as an important platform to showcase Zimbabwean players’ form and stakes requirements for national selection and add importance to every stage and moment within the competition.
This disturbing incident illustrates the unpredictable nature and fine lines between success and failure, especially in the high-pressure environment of domestic first-class competitions such as the Logan Cup.
