Zimbabwe Cricket Legend Flower Inducted Into ICC Hall of Fame
Zimbabwe Cricket has heaped praise on cricket legend Andy Flower describing him as "one of the world's greatest cricket players ever" after he became the country's first cricketer to be inducted into the International Cricket Council (ICC) Hall of Fame. The ICC announced a special edition intake of 10 cricket icons into the ICC Hall of Fame to celebrate the prestigious history of Test cricket, and to coincide with the first ever ICC World Test Championship Final.
Flower, who captained Zimbabwe in a very successful career before going on to enjoy success as coach of the England cricket team, was one of the 10 legends the ICC said have made a significant contribution to the history of Test cricket. His international career came to an end during the 2003 World Cup, when he and the fast bowler Henry Olonga wore black armbands during all of Zimbabwe's games to protest what they termed "the death of democracy" in their country.
