Wellington Pedzisai Masakadza (born 4 October 1993) is a Zimbabwean cricketer who has played first-class and limited-overs matches for the Mountaineers and the Mashonaland Eagles.
From Harare, Masakadza is the youngest of three brothers who have each played cricket at high levels – the others are Hamilton (born 1983) and Shingirai Masakadza (born 1986), who have both played Test cricket for Zimbabwe's national side.[1] A left-handed batsman and slow left-arm orthodox spinner, Wellington Masakadza represented the Zimbabwean under-19s at the 2012 Under-19 World Cup, playing in three matches.[2] He made his senior debut for the Mountaineers franchise during the 2013–14 domestic season,[3][4] having performed well in four trial Twenty20 games played prior to the start of the season.[5]
Masakadza went on to play five matches in the 2013–14 Logan Cup, taking 15 wickets.[6] This included figures of 5/63 on his first-class debut, against the Matabeleland Tuskers.[7] In September 2014, he was selected for the Zimbabwe A that toured Bangladesh, playing in two first-class and three one-day games.[3][4] Masakadza took 6/63 in the first of those matches, his best figures.[8] He subsequently selected in the Zimbabwean senior team's 17-man Test squad for its tour of Bangladesh in October and December, along with both of his brothers, although he did not participate in any of the Tests.[9] For the 2014–15 Zimbabwean season, Masakadza switched to play for the Mashonaland Eagles.[3]
