Timeline
Prosper Utseya (born 26 March 1985 in Harare, Zimbabwe) is a retired Zimbabwean cricketer, who plays all formats of the game.
In 2004, he was moved to Manicaland to strengthen the provincial side there, and was selected for the CFX Academy.
His maiden first-class five-wicket haul, 5/32, came against Manicaland in October of that year.
Utseya has been a force to be reckoned with in Zimbabwean domestic cricket.
He captained Zimbabwe from 2006 to 2010.
He bowls right-arm off break and is a useful right-hand batsman.
He continued to hold a place in a weakened national side and took up the captaincy from Terry Duffin in 2006.
Utseya's bowling during the tour to West Indies in May 2006 where his flight and spin belied his lack of experience and years.
He was consistently able to stem the flow of runs in the middle overs, and he provided two of the series highlights and one when he comprehensively beat Brian Lara with successive deliveries in the first match in Trinidad and the other his remarkable diving, juggling boundary catch in the second.
Utseya is the first and joint world record holder for conceding the fewest runs (six runs) in a T20 International after bowling the complete quota of overs (four overs is the maximum quota in a T20 match).
Utseya was ranked 15th in the ICC ODI Bowling Rankings in September 2006.
He has a reputation for being an extremely parsimonious bowler, albeit with less wicket taking prowess.
In a Cricinfo article from August 2006, he had the lowest economy rate (3.84) amongst all spinners in the history of ODI cricket.
In comparison, the economy rates for Muttiah Muralitharan and Harbhajan Singh at the same time were 3.85 and 4.11 respectively.
His spin-bowling partnership with Timycen Maruma has resulted in a series of domestic titles, and in 2008-09 his ten-wicket haul helped Easterns clinch a thrilling one-wicket victory in a low-scoring contest against Northerns at Alexandra Sports Club in Harare that secured the Logan Cup.
Utseya enjoyed a steady, if unspectacular, domestic season in 2009–10, though his franchise, Mountaineers dominated the first-class scene.
While his initial place in the national team owed much to the withdrawal of several white players after Heath Streak's sacking as captain, Utseya more than earned his place subsequently.
Utseya tendered his resignation as national captain after the side's disappointing performance at the T20 World Cup in May 2010 saying that he was stepping down in the interest of the team's future development.
He led Zimbabwe in 67 one-day internationals, with 20 victories, and all 10 of the Twenty20 internationals the team has played.
Utseya took a hat-trick against South Africa at Harare Sports Club and became the second Zimbabwean to claim a hat-trick when he dismissed three South African batsmen in consecutive deliveries in the third One-Day International match of the Tri-series in August 2014.
In process, he also took his career best figure and ended his innings with a figure of 5/36
In August 2014, Utseya reported for a suspect bowling action following the third ODI against South Africa in Bulawayo.
Utseya has not played any form of cricket since 2015.
Rising from the ranks of township cricket in Harare's Highfield suburb, Utseya attended Churchill School, the cradle of many black Zimbabwean players, thanks to Zimbabwe Cricket Union scholarships.
Utseya was a promising talent at the school level and made his first-class debut as an opener for Mashonaland A at the age of 15.
Utseya claims that he became a victim of racism during the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup, and slammed allegations against former Zimbabwe cricketer Alistair Campbell, managing director of Zimbabwe Cricket, over the appointment of an "all-white" coaching staff and administration.
He claimed that Campbell had "personal issues" against him, and was thus not included in the starting XI in any of the world cup games, despite being in the squad.
He scored a fifty in a tight situation in just his second Logan Cup match against Manicaland a day before his 16th birthday and soon moved into the Under-19 and Zimbabwe A sides with some notable bowling performances along the way.
