SRC Congratulates Andy Flower On Being Inducted Into ICC's Hall Of Fame
Zimbabwe Cricket legend, Andy Flower was on Saturday named among 10 inductees into the International Cricket Council (ICC)’s Hall of Fame.
Flower, widely considered to be Zimbabwe’s best player of all time, has 4 794 Test runs at 51.54 including a match-saving unbeaten 232 against India at Nagpur in 2000.
His international career ended during the 2003 World Cup where, together with team-mate Henry Olonga, he wore a black armband in protest at what the pair said was “the death of democracy” in Zimbabwe.
