The 15 rebel Zimbabwe cricketers demanding the reinstatement of former captain Heath Streak want two international mediators to help end the damaging deadlock with the Zimbabwe Cricket Union.

The breakaway group have submitted a letter to the ZCU outlining this and other suggestions for what their lawyer Chris Venturas calls “a mechanism to resolve the issue.”

The players say they will turn out for practice today with the second string players who lost by only 25 runs to Sri Lanka at harare Sports club yesterday to go down 5-0 in the one-day series. They are also available for selection to the two tests against the Sri Lankans.

But they will walk out again if their proposals are turned down, said dissident batsman Grant Flower. The ZCU has threatened to “take action” against them all if the matter is not resolved in one week’s time. (Reuters)
