captain of Zimbabwe's WODI squad for their four-match series against Ireland. The fixtures were Zimbabwe's first WODI matches gaining WODI status. Musonda made her WODI debut on 5 October 2021, against Ireland. Zimbabwe won the match by four wickets, with Musonda scoring an unbeaten century, and sharing in three half-century stands. She was only the sixth woman to score a century on ODI debut, the first ever to do so while captaining her team, and the first to score any international century for Zimbabwe. In November 2021, Musonda was named as the captain of Zimbabwe's team for the 2021 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier tournament in Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe lost two of its first three matches in the tournament, and defeated the United States by only one wicket. The rest of the tournament was then cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In April 2022, Musonda again led her team in the Capricorn Women's Tri-Series in Windhoek, Namibia, except in one of its matches against Uganda, when she was rested and Josephine Nkomo stood in for her. After losing its first match to Namibia by seven wickets, Zimbabwe won all five of its remaining matches, including the final, also against Namibia, and also by seven wickets. During one of Zimbabwe's matches in the series, against Uganda, Musonda was, unusually, given out for obstructing the field. She had defended a ball from Janet Mbabazi which then rebounded towards her stumps, then gently hit the ball back to Mbabazi while remaining in her crease at all times. Off the field Basketball Musonda has also played basketball for the Vixens in the Harare Basketball League. Professional life Musonda is interested in development issues, specifically for African girls and women. She is also involved in literacy and numeracy interventions for children in junior schools in remote areas of Zimbabwe. Her post-retirement plan is to promote women's cricket by opening an all-sports academy specifically for females, and primarily for cricket. Personal life A Christian, Musonda has been a member of the Life and Liberty Churches International since 2015. Previously, she was a congregant at a Methodist Church from childhood.
