Domestic career[edit]

Vitori made his List A debut for Masvingo during the 2005–06 Faithwear Clothing Inter-Provincial Competition, playing in all three of Masvingo's games,^[1] taking three wickets at an average of 12.00.^[2]

He switched to Southerns for the 2007–08 Logan Cup after the first reorganisation of cricket in Zimbabwe. He made hisfirst-class debut for Southerns against Easterns in April 2008, taking 2/37 in Easterns' only innings.^[3] He also played his first, and to date only, Twenty20 match for Southerns against Westerns, taking 1/14 and making three runs.^[4]

International career[edit]

Vitori made his Test debut for Zimbabwe against Bangladesh at Harare Sports Club on 4 August 2011, taking five wickets, including 4/66 in the first innings.

He made his ODI debut, also against Bangladesh at Harare Sports Club, on 12 August 2011, taking 5/30 on debut, the best bowling figures by a Zimbabwean player on debut, and the sixth-best overall.^[5] He also took a five-wicket haul in his second match, taking 5/20 to become the first ever ODI player to take two five-wicket hauls in his first two matches. He also became the first player to be named man of the match in his first two games.^[6]

The following series with Pakistan was very disappointing for him, as Pakistanis worked him for cover drives and pull shotsand he took only one wicket the tour with figures of 0/103 & 0/15 in the only test^[7] and 0/43 & 1/62 in the ODIs. Rameez Raja suggested him to keep the indipper as a surprise delivery.
