Blood, sweat and treason
Henry Olonga
Henry Olonga was the first black cricketer to play for Zimbabwe, and on his international cricket debut in 1995 was the youngest player to represent that country. A right arm fast bowler, he was in the team that won Zimbabwe’s first ever Test victory. In 2003, with team mate Andy Flower, he wore a black armband in a World Cup match to protest against the actions of the Mugabe government. This led to a warrant for his arrest for treason (punishable by death in Zimbabwe) and forced him to retire from international cricket and go into hiding.
Henry Olonga tells us his story.
