He was not in form, averaging just 20 with a highest score of 32 not out.[3] He was called up for a Zimbabwe A match against Bangladesh in 2006.[4] He made his ODI debut against Bangladesh the same year. He scored just 10 and 14, so He was not included in the Zimbabwean World Cup Squad the next year.

Mawoyo was once appointed Zimbabwe A captain but was stripped of captaincy following inappropriate behaviour by the team which was at Bulawayo camp.[5] He still remained a good batsman in Zimbabwe, being the Highest Run Scorer in the Metbank one-day competition with 424 runs averaging 60.57.

He now plays club cricket in England as an overseas player for Wickford Cricket Club in Essex.
