An offspinner with real promise, Prosper Utseya was unexpectedly thrust into the Zimbabwe
national team against Sri Lanka at the age of 19 when the rebel players withdrew, but was
not given the chance to bat or bowl on his debut and it soon became clear that he was
considered by the selectors a one-day specialist. Despite being given an extensive run in
the side, he failed to make a mark with either bat or ball. But he really came to
prominence in the Caribbean in 2006 when his mature bowling was a rare highlight for the
Zimbabweans, with his flight and ability to turn the ball was widely praised and his
economy rate was at times remarkable. It was, nevertheless, a surprise when he was
appointed captain for the series against Bangladesh in July 2006.
