The Final Word with Tawanda Muyeye - from refugee to England hopeful
TFW Interview, Tawanda Muyeye
The Final Word Cricket Podcast · Adam Collins, Geoff Lemon
Show Notes
Season 19 Episode 25: Last week, we had Sonny Baker with us, casting an eye to the future of England fast bowling. Today, a player similarly highly-rated, Tawanda Muyeye. In Muyeye’s case, having represented Zimbabwe at youth level, his family had to flee as a result of political persecution. A fresh start in England as an asylum seeker followed, which saw him score mountains of schoolboy runs before quickly ending up on Kent’s books. Now 24, the stylish right-hander remains in the process of moving from refugee to citizen, but all things being equal, this time next year he should be eligible for England selection. Showing he has what it takes across formats, dreams of wearing the Three Lions burn brightly for this kind and articulate young man. And as you’ll detect in this chat, he’s someone who is firmly focused on living in the present rather than being trapped within his complex backstory.
