Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
While being a strong player in the longer format, Pycroft wasn't as consistent in the 50-over and 60-over games though he still had moderate success. After retirement, Pycroft entered into administration by initially taking care of the U19 side. Gradually, he became the chief national selector and eventually, the coach of the national side. With the bubbling political issues within the administration, Pycroft endured complications and quit the job after the 2003 World Cup, citing lack of cooperation from the selectors as the major reason. When the Heath Streak fiasco struck Zimbabwe cricket big in 2004, many felt that Pycroft's exit was also partly due to similar issues. Pycroft got into umpiring and is now a renowned ICC match referee.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Andy Pycroft was a high-class batsman, especially strong off the back foot, whose best days were behind him by the time Zimbabwe played their first Test in 1992-93. He played only three Tests before time and the demands of a young family brought his retirement. His first-class cricket was limited by Rhodesia/Zimbabwe's scant fixture list, but he made the most of the few opportunities that came his way. In 1991-92 he hammered 104 off 109 against an Australian B side that contained Shane Warne, Paul Reiffel and Steve Waugh. He captained Zimbabwe in two spells, but did not take to the job naturally, possibly being a little too blunt for the role. After retiring he moved into administration, managing the U-19 side, and becoming a selector and subsequently the head of the selectors. He became Zimbabwe's coach in 2001 but resigned during the 2003 World Cup citing a lack of communication with his fellow selectors. It was a warning of the issues which were to rip Zimbabwe cricket apart the following year.
