One change in Zimbabwe team for second Test

The Zimbabwe Cricket Union today announced the team to take on India in the second and final Test at Harare beginning on 15 June 2001. As expected, the selection committee made just one change, bringing in young mediumpacer Travis Friend for the injured Henry Olonga. Ironically, Friend was replaced by Olonga at the last, moment in the first Test as the former was injured. Olonga suffered a hamstring strain while playing the first Test, bowled 8 overs in the first innings, came to bat with a runner and did not take bowl in the Zimbabwe second innings.

The announcement puts to rest all speculation about skipper Heath Streak's fitness. Streak was rapped on the knee while batting and he too could not bowl as India successfully chased 184 to take an unassailable 1-0 lead in the 2 Test series. Streak has recovered well in time for the second Test and will lead Zimbabwe.

The rest of the side remains unchanged, with Gavin Rennie doing twelfth man duties once more.

Zimbabwe team: Heath Streak (Captain), Guy Whittall (Vice-captain), Andy Blignaut, Alistair Campbell, Stuart Carlisle, Dion Ebrahim, Andrew Flower, Grant Flower, Travis Friend, Brian Murphy, Brighton Watambwa and (Gavin Rennie 12th Man)
