ZIMBABWE Cricket national team coach, Dave Houghton has resigned from his position admitting he had “lost the dressing room”
The former Zimbabwe captain’s resignation is with immediate effect.
Houghton took over from Lalchand Rajput in June 2022 and had a promising start to his tenure, guiding the Chevrons to a Super 6 finish at the T20 World Cup that year.
But a string of poor results which saw the Chevrons failing to qualify for both the Cricket world cup and the T20 World Cup saw the respected gaffer throwing in his towel.
The series loss to Ireland this past weekend was perhaps the last straw on Houghton’s reign as national team coach.
“I have always had Zimbabwe cricket at heart and, though my coaching of the national team comes to an end, I would love to be involved in other areas,” he said in his resignation.
“The talent base in Zimbabwe is enormous. How we move players from talented to performing well on the international stage is a great project to be involved in.”
