A multi-talented sportsman, Masvaure's entry to cricket was serendipitous. Baseball was his first love, where he was the school's vice-captain. Identifying his big-hitting prowess, the cricket coach forced him to fill a spot in the junior cricket team - apparently, they were a player short. It was there that Masvaure's fascination towards the sport started.

He hasn't looked back since then. Masvaure made rapid strides, progressing through U-13s, U-16s and eventually the U-19s. He was barely 16, when he was picked for the Zimbabwe U-19s and coincidentally, he has played alongside Gary Ballance of England. Masvaure has featured in two U-19 World Cups (2008, 2010).
