won. During the ensuing ICC Women's World Twenty20 Qualifier, in Bangkok, Thailand, in November and December 2015, she played in all four of Zimbabwe's matches. Musonda had a more prominent role in the next Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier, held in Colombo, Sri Lanka, in February 2017. She was the highest run-scorer for Zimbabwe, with 113 runs. The following year, 2018, was a disappointing one for the national team, which narrowly missed out on qualifying for that year's ICC Women's World Twenty20 Qualifier. In December 2018, Musonda, who had not participated in the Africa qualifiers in which Zimbabwe had been eliminated by Uganda from the World Cup, was appointed as the captain of the team, replacing Chipo Mugeri. She considers the highlight of captaincy to be continuously finding ways of making adequate decisions. Her initial objective was to lead the team to its maiden World Cup tournament. On 5 January 2019, the month after her appointment, Musonda made her Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) debut for Zimbabwe against Namibia, at the start of a five-match T20I tour of Namibia, which Zimbabwe won 5–0. Musonda also topped the overall batting table for that tour, with an aggregate of 140 at an average of 70. Before returning home, the team competed against Kenya and Uganda in the Victoria Tri-Series in Kampala, Uganda, and also won that tournament. Musonda was then to have led the team on a tour of Ireland and the Netherlands in July 2019, but that tour was cancelled at the last minute after the ICC moved to freeze all funding to Zimbabwe. Soon afterwards, the ICC barred Zimbabwe from all ICC events, including the ICC Women's World Twenty20 Qualifier in Scotland in August 2019, for which the national team had already qualified. Musonda considers Zimbabwe's exclusion from that tournament to be the worst moment of her career; the ICC ban on Zimbabwe was lifted after only three months, but soon afterwards the COVID-19 pandemic began. In February 2021, Musonda was named as the captain of Zimbabwe's squad for its home 50-over and T20I series against Pakistan, which were scheduled as the national team's first matches since the onset of the pandemic. However, that tour was ended abruptly after only one match, because of flight restrictions associated with the pandemic. In April 2021, the ICC gave Zimbabwe Women's One Day International (WODI) status. In October 2021, Musonda was named as the
