Goodwin fearful for Zimbabwe's future LONDON, April 10 (AFP) - Zimbabwe are on the brink of collapse as an international cricket team, according to former Test batsman Murray Goodwin. Now at English county Sussex, Goodwin told AFP that several of his former team-mates were considering a boycott following the decision by the Zimbabwe Cricket Union (ZCU) to strip Heath Streak of the captaincy. "I've spoken to some of the players and they are not very happy with the situation," Goodwin told AFP on Friday. "Now 14 of them are thinking of resigning," added Goodwin at Lord's where he was appearing for county champions Sussex against an MCC team led by former Zimbabwe skipper Andy Flower in the opening fixture of the English season. "I don't know what will happen to Zimbabwe. It's a bit of a lottery. I was talking about this with Andy Flower and he said the players were on a 'hiding to nothing'. "What I do know is that there isn't enough depth in Zimbabwean cricket to cope with the loss of 14 players and still compete effectively at international level." |
