Norbert Manyande

Rangarirai Norbert Manyande (born 29 August 1979) is a former Zimbabwean cricketer who played for several domestic teams during the early 2000s. He moved to Namibia later in the decade, and went on to represent the Namibian national side at tournaments in South Africa and Zimbabwe. Having begun his coaching career while still playing in Zimbabwe, Manyande was appointed coach of the Namibian under-19 side in 2013, and has overseen its successful qualification for the 2014 and 2016 Under-19 World Cups.

Manyande was born in Bikita in 1979, in what was then Zimbabwe-Rhodesia's Victoria Province (now called Masvingo Province). A Takashinga Cricket Club and Churchill School player, he made his senior debut in Zimbabwean domestic cricket during the 2000–01 season of the Logan Cup, with a single match for Mashonaland. Manyande switched to Mashonaland A for the following 2001–02 season, playing an additional four matches, and even captained the side for one game against Midlands, in only his third first-class appearance. A right-handed all-rounder, he finished with seven wickets for the season, behind only two national team players, David Mutendera and Prosper Utseya, for Mashonaland A.
