The 2019–20 Logan Cup was the 26th edition of the Logan Cup, a first-class cricket competition in Zimbabwe. The tournament started on 12 December 2019,[1] and was scheduled to finish on 16 February 2020.[2][3] It featured five franchise teams, including a new team, the Rangers.[4]Mountaineers were the defending champions.[5]
In July 2019, Zimbabwe Cricket was suspended by the International Cricket Council (ICC) due to government interference, with all their international and domestic fixtures put on hold.[6] The suspension was lifted by the ICC in October 2019, meaning their domestic fixtures could go ahead.[7] However, in early January 2020, three sets of fixtures did not take place as scheduled, with Zimbabwe Cricket not providing a reason.[8] The tournament restarted on 29 January 2020, with the Matabeleland Tuskers playing the Mid West Rhinos in Bulawayo.[9] After a break of nearly one month for the 2019–20 Pro50 Championship, the next first-class matches started on 20 February 2020, with two fixtures in Harare.[10]
On 18 March 2020, Zimbabwe Cricket suspended all forms of cricket in the country due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[11] On 4 May 2020, Zimbabwe Cricket voided the tournament due to the pandemic with no winner being declared.[12][13]
Shayne Nxumalo (Matabeleland Tuskers) made his first-class debut.
