  Natsai M’shangwe (born 9 February 1991) is an international cricketer. He made his ODI debut in a match against the Netherlands. He is an all-rounder. Mushwange's favourite cricketer is Pakistan's all-rounder Shahid Afridi; he is his favourite cricketer because Afridi is a flamboyant batter with a good ability to ball legbreak, similar to that of Mushangwe. While representing the Zimbabwe XI in a match, M’shangwe scored 7 runs before getting out. He didn't take any wickets, but did have a low economy rate. In the next match M’shangwe showed his all-round ability by scoring 11 runs for the final wicket and taking the wicket of Netherlands opener Eric Szwarczynski.
