Trevor Nyasha Madondo (November 22, 1976, Mount Darwin, Mashonaland – June 11, 2001, Parirenyatwa Hospital, Harare) was a Zimbabwean cricketer who played in 3 Tests and 13 ODIs from 1998 to 2001.
At school at Falcon College he also played hockey and rugby union. He gave up his studies at Rhodes University to become a full-time cricketer.[1] A middle-order batsman, he hit his highest first-class score in his last Test when he scored 74 not out against New Zealand in 2000-01.[2]
He died a few months later at the age of 24 from malaria. He is the fifth-youngest Test player to die.[3] As of 2013 he is the only deceased Zimbabwean Test cricketer.
In November 2008, his brother Tafadzwa Madondo died in a motorbike accident while vacationing in Bali.[4]
