Career

Justin Lewis got his start playing cricket in their garden at age four.[3] He started playing cricket in Grade Three at Goldridge Primary School, where he was promoted to the school senior team in Grade Four.[3] He was initially more focused on batting, achieving his best score of 30 not out.[3] Lewis began as a leg-spin bowler but shifted to seam around 1997-98.[3]

During high school, Lewis attended Plumtree School before moving to Camelot High School in Kwekwe.[3] He achieved significant milestones including scoring 177 not out against Kwekwe College and making the Midlands Under-16 team.[3]

Lewis changed his bowling style inspired by Wasim Akram and joined the Queens cricket club in Kwekwe at 13.[3] He progressed quickly to their first team, obtaining his best figures of five for 23 against Kadoma.[3] Despite being a capable batsman, he was often positioned low in the batting order.[3]
