"However, I have reached the stage where I no longer have the desire to dedicate myself to the rigours of professional sport and this would do Zimbabwe Cricket and the game itself a disservice, should I carry on. I wish them every success going forward."

Clearly the injuries he has had have played a part. Clearly decided that he doesn't have the drive. Heard whispers that his wife is not too keen on Zim to.

There’s a lot more to this than meets the eye

This is actually embarrassing on our part too. They won't be happy. I hope it doesn't affect future plans of importing other players. In the end you need people who are committed to the cause. This ain't it.

That's just too weird. First thing I checked was the date thinking it was a belated April joke.

I'll bet my bottom dollar the main cause is his missus not liking the place. Always marry within your circle if you don't want a shed load of problems :lol:
Also helps with the in-breeding :lol:

But there will be more to it than that.
Bloody disappointing, whatever the reason.
