Fast bowler Henry Olonga played 30 Tests and 50 One Day Internationals for Zimbabwe between 1995 and 2003. He took 68 Test wickets at an average of 38.52 and was Man of the Match in two Tests against Pakistan and India. He was an average Test player but in 2003 hit the international headlines when he and his fellow countryman Andy Flower wore black armbands in the Cricket World Cup match against Namibia in Harare to protest against what they claimed was “the death of democracy in our beloved Zimbabwe”. Their action had severe consequences for Henry who received death threats. He went into exile and settled in England. Adrian Barnard spoke to Henry in 2009 about his cricket career, the 2003 World Cup protest and the faith that directs his life.
