After her debut, Mugeri's next major international tournament was the Africa regional qualifier in December 2010, which formed part of the qualification process for the 2013 World Cup.^[6] Zimbabwe finished runner-up at the tournament to qualify for the 2011 World Cup Qualifier, but Mugeri did not make the final team for that event.^[7] At the 2013 World Twenty20 Qualifier, Mugeri played in all five of her team's matches, scoring 68 runs (the second-most for her team behind Nonhlanhla Nyathi).^[8] Her highest score was 32 runs from 33 balls against Pakistan, in a match where her team's total was just 70 runs.^[9]

In December 2018, she was replaced as the captain of the Zimbabwe women's team by Mary-Anne Musonda.^[15]^[16] She made her Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) debut for Zimbabwe against Namibia women on 5 January 2019.^[17]
