Masakadza has scored 581 runs in 26 ODI innings at 22.34 last year, including two half-centuries, while 139 runs from four innings, averaging 34.75 with one half-century in Test cricket last year before taking a break for family reasons.
Meanwhile, Dilip Chouhan has been appointed as Zimbabwe cricket team manager and will be in charge of Zimbabwe senior men side, Zimbabwe A and Zimbabwe Under-19 national teams.
While Walter Chawaguta, Prosper Utseya, and Kenyon Ziehl will join the national board as functional members of the Zimbabwe National Selection Panel.
