es. It had previously become an associate member of the ICC on 21 July 1981 after independence. Before independence, Rhodesia had competed in the South African Currie Cup
domestic competition. Since joining the ICC, Zimbabwe have had seven Test captains
, fourteen One Day International captains and two Twenty20 captains, along with a number of youth captains.
Before becoming a full member of the ICC, Zimbabwe played in the 1983 Cricket World Cup

, they beat Australia, and in the 1987 Cricket World Cup
under the captaincy of John Traicos

, the most successful batsman Zimbabwe has produced, captained the side to their first Test win against Pakistan in 1995. He was followed as captain by Alistair Campbell
. Under his captaincy, the side achieved its first Test series win in 1998 and, in the 1999 Cricket World Cup
, passed the first round for the first time.
After Campbell's resignation for "personal reasons", fast bowler Heath Streak
became captain. While Test success—except against newcomers Bangladesh—remained elusive, the side once again reached the second round of the 2003 Cricket World Cup

as captain. During his tenure as captain, the side suffered its first defeat to Bangladesh and failed to win a single Test. Further political problems led to Taibu's resignation in 2006. At this point, Zimbabwe withdrew from playing Test matches. Since the Test withdrawal, several players have captained the one day side, although none has achieved significant success. The side is once again competing in the South African domestic competition under the captaincy of Hamilton Masakadza
