 Olonga played 30 Tests and 50 one-day games for Zimbabwe |
Former Zimbabwe paceman Henry Olonga feels the controversy surrounding the team will not be ended by the ICC's decision to clear them of racism. Olonga retired from the international arena in 2003 claiming his position had become untenable as his opinions were so opposed to those of the authorities.
An ICC probe found "absolutely no evidence of racism," by the ZCU.
But Olonga said: "There will still be questions on the conduct of the hearing and if it was the right conclusion."
Olonga, who was full of praise for England's Stephen Harmison who chose not to tour Zimbabwe, admitted the trip presented major obstacles to governing bodies. "The ICC were in a very difficult position if the ZCU were found guilty of racism not only on the rebel players but in selection in general," he said on BBC Radio Five Live.
"It's a way out for the ICC in one way, they've washed their hands of it."
