On Friday evening, 23 April, the Zimbabwe Cricket Union held its annual prize-giving at Harare Sports Club.

The ZCU president Peter Chingoka made the opening speech, in which he reviewed the country's most successful season since gaining Test status in 1992. They won their second Test victory against India at home, and followed this with a maiden series victory in Pakistan. In one-day cricket they reached the final of a triangular tournament in Sharjah, won a match in Pakistan for the first time, and demolished all opposition in another triangular series in Bangladesh.

Mr Chingoka also announced that the Mini World Cup in Bangladesh at the start of the season had raised the sum of US$12 million for the ZCU's development programme. He also said that the Zimbabwe Cricket Academy would be competing in the Logan Cup next season, raising the number of teams to four.

The individual awards for the past season were as follows:

Bob Nixon Trophy (most improved Under-21 player) - Andy Blignaut

Nick Benatar Trophy (Cricketer of the Year) - Andy Flower

Field Coleman Trophy (Administrator's Award) - Clive Barnes

Mr Barnes is the headmaster of Prince Edward School in Harare and has done a tremendous amount of invaluable work in schools cricket.

The Logan Cup was then presented to the Matabeleland captain Andrew Whittall. Old Hararians Sports Club won the two national club competitions, for both the league and knockout.
