Streak may have played his last game for Zimbabwe

He wants the International Cricket Council (ICC) to look into allegations of racial discrimination against the Zimbabwe Cricket Union (ZCU).

Streak claims Zimbabwe's selectors are discriminating against white players.

"I don't think other countries should be playing Test or one-day cricket against Zimbabwe until the current crisis has been resolved," he said.

"It's a difficult one for the ICC, but they maybe have to force the two parties involved to talk and to try to come up with some sort of resolution.

"I hope that things are redeemable and that the damage can be repaired.

"But there is increasing polarisation between the two parties, and the longer it goes on the more difficult it's going to be to get an agreement."

In my heart of hearts it's difficult to see how I can play for Zimbabwe again unless the ICC get involved Ex-Zimbabwe captain Heath Streak

Streak, who is one of 15 rebel players who are in dispute with the ZCU, has decided to move to England to play for Warwickshire.

He insisted his demand for an international ban was based on cricketing rather than political reasons.

"Players are being discriminated against because they are white, which is the main problem," he told the Daily Telegraph newspaper.

"But it isn't a purely black and white thing. There's also regional discrimination as well."

Streak had already decided to play county cricket before falling out with the ZCU but he now fears his international career is over.

"I hope that my Zimbabwe career isn't finished. But, in my heart of hearts, it's difficult to see how I can play again unless the ICC get involved."

Zimbabwe's future as a Test team will be discussed when cricket chiefs from India, South Africa and Australia meet ZCU boss Peter Chingoka in Dubai on Thursday.

Sources say the Dubai discussions about the on-going crisis will form the basis for a final decision on Zimbabwe's future at the ICC's annual conference in June.
