Cricket: Streak believes Zimbabwe should be banned

Former Zimbabwe captain Heath Streak believes his country should be banned from all international cricket until allegations of racial discrimination against the Zimbabwe Cricket Union are investigated.

Streak was sacked as captain in April after he questioned the composition of the selection panel and criticised them for what he said was discrimination against white players.

"I do not think that other countries should be playing test or one-day cricket against Zimbabwe, home or away, until the crisis has been resolved," Streak said after joining English county side Warwickshire.

Streak's dismissal led 14 other players to walk out on the national side and although they signalled their intention to end their feud with the ZCU last week, they are unlikely to play for Zimbabwe again.

The sport's governing body, the ICC, have tried to set up a dispute resolution committee to bring the parties together, but the ZCU have queried the ICC's jurisdiction.

Streak feels the ICC should act before the situation worsened.
