Overview
Tatenda Taibu (born 14 May 1983) is a Zimbabwean former cricketer who captained the Zimbabwe national cricket team. A wicket-keeper-batsman, he is recognised as one of the prominent figures in Zimbabwean cricket during the 2000s.
On 6 May 2004, Taibu became the youngest Test captain in the history of the game when he led Zimbabwe against Sri Lanka. He held this record until 5 September 2019, when it was claimed by Rashid Khan of Afghanistan.
In July 2012, at the age of 29, Taibu decided to retire from cricket to focus on his work in the church. In December 2018, it was reported that he was making a return to the sport. Later that same month, he turned out in first-class cricket for Badureliya Sports Club in the 2018–19 Premier League Tournament in Sri Lanka.
Taibu has since moved into coaching and serves as Head Coach for Cricket PNG and its national men's team, the PNG Barramundis.
