Streak In India

Former Zimbabwean cricketer Heath Streak – who did not seek the renewal of his contact with Bangladesh – is expected in India on Friday. 

Streak has been linked with a move to IPL side Gujrat Lons where he is expected to take up the bowling coach role, but he will be in in India for a different assignment this time.

"My agent is dealing with my stuff,” said Streak as he did not want to go into detail.

In the meantime, Streak – who is currently in Botswana – will be in India doing commentary for Ten Sports in India's matches against hosts Zimbabwe from Saturday. 

"I have done about 4 series in Zimbabwe as a guest commentator in the past. I also did studio work for Sky Sports in Zimbabwe series matches during my time when I was playing county cricket in UK". 

"Not sure who other Ten Sports commentators are. I think past cricketers and non-cricketers commentators offer a good blend. Firstly because you a past player doesn't automatically mean you will succeed as a commentator". 

"Like anything in life you must have a passion for what you are doing and take interest in current players, trends and strategies. As a past player you do have an advantage having experienced playing different situations". 

"However, non-cricketing commentators bring a great perspective and often see things from a different angle. Generally highly knowledgeable on stats and history of the game which not always case with us past players. Great job for people who love the game", he adds.  

 

"Legends like Lawry, Grieg, Botham, Gavasker are a few examples of great commentators who played that I enjoy listening to", he further added.
