About Friday Kasteni

  • Friday Kasteni (born 25 March 1988, Kadoma, Zimbabwe) is a Zimbabwean cricketer.
  • He is a left-handed aggressive batsman. He scored a century on his first-class debut for Midlands against Matabeleland in April 2005.
  • He went on to represent Zimbabwe at the Under-19 World Cup in Sri Lanka in 2006.
  • Kasteni made his One Day International debut in February 2007, against Bangladesh. Kasteni was then selected in Zimbabwe's 2007 World Cup squad.
  • He was the only surprise inclusion, with the veteran of 15 Tests, Hamilton Masakadza, left out.
  • In his first World Cup innings, Kasteni was out for a golden duck. In a controversial move by the selectors, Kasteni replaced Terrence Duffin, one of the team's most experienced players, for Zimbabwe's final two World Cup games.
  • The move did not pay off, and Kasteni scored just 9 runs at an average of 4.50. In 2008, Kasteni was chosen by the Zimbabwe Cricket Board to attend a six-week course at Cricket Australia's Centre of Excellence in Brisbane and in 2012 moved to Canberra, Australia on a sports scholarship to qualify for permanent residency of Australia with the intention of playing first-class cricket in Australia.
