Born in Harare, Wellington Masakadza, is a left-arm spinner from Zimbabwe. He is the youngest of the three Masakadza siblings who have represented Zimbabwe at the international level. His brothers, Hamilton Masakadza and Shingirai Masakadza, have both played Tests and ODIs for Zimbabwe.

In fact, Hamilton Masakadza was a permanent fixture in the Zimbabwean line-up across all formats (even T20Is), before a poor run of scores resulted in his exclusion from the ODI series against Ireland.

At the same time, Wellington earned his maiden call-up to the national squad. He made his debut in the first ODI in Harare on October 9, 2015. Apart from taking 2/45 with the ball, he impressed everyone with the way he handled pressure in his very first game.
