Elton Chigumbura is only 24 years old and he is the captain of Zimbabwe team for the 2011 World Cup.
Athletic and well built, Chigumbura is confident that his team can produce a spectacular show in the World Cup though they start their campaign against the mighty Australians.
Chigumbura made his international debut when he was only 18 and has now played in 122 One-dayers.
"It is always good to make debut early because you get to play more games. I have played in over 100 One-dayers and this is my second World Cup. It is being played in totally different conditions from the last World Cup. For me, it is a big opportunity to use my experience" Chigumbura told Gulf News.
Zimbabwe will be training hard at the International Cricket Council (ICC) Global Cricket Academy for the next few days to make themselves stronger for the World Cup.
No pressure
Chigumbura, who bowls at 140kmph looks all set to lead from the front.
"I have maintained my fitness through sheer hard work. I've always work hard while preparing for an event. The end result will take care of itself," he said.
Does being a captain at 24 put a lot of pressure on him? "Not really. Since I have played long enough it does not put any pressure. I will take this opportunity and try and move the team to a better level," he said.
