Chibhabha made a
duck on international debut, against
New Zealand during the
2005–06 Videocon Tri–Series. Chibhabha has also played
first class matches for
Mashonaland, and earned a recall to the national side in April 2006, when the team
toured West Indies. In the first ODI, he top scored with 55, but his six overs cost thirty runs, and Zimbabwe lost by five wickets. Chibhabha showed excellent talent during the
Indian tour of Zimbabwe in 2015. He was the highest run scorer in the twenty20 series and Zimbabwe won their first Twenty20 International against India. He top scored in this match with 67 and earned man of the match and man of the series as well. In July 2016 he was named in Zimbabwe's
Test squad for their
series against New Zealand. On 28 July 2016 he made his Test debut for Zimbabwe against New Zealand. He played in the most ODIs for Zimbabwe before making his Test debut. He's also having the joint record for taking the most catches by a substitute fielder in a T20I innings, along with
Jeetan Patel,
Eoin Morgan,
Hashim Amla,
Johnson Charles and
Jonathan Carter. In June 2018, he was named in a Board XI team for warm-up fixtures ahead of the
2018 Zimbabwe Tri-Nation Series. Chibhabha was the last batsman, and the only Zimbabwe player, to be out
handled the ball in an international match, before that mode of dismissal was abolished in 2017. Following an almost two-year absence from Test cricket, Zimbabwe played
a two-Test series against West Indies in February 2023, and Chibhabha played his first Test in five and a half years in the First Test. ==References==
