Heath Streak signs up with the ICL

Former Zimbabwe captain Heath Streak has signed up to play in the Indian Cricket League.

Streak, whose career appeared to be drawing to a conclusion after he did not renew his contract with Warwickshire, will leave for India later this week to join up with the ICL.

The move appears to end any slim hopes there may have been that he might resume his international career, although he said he was still not ready to say he had played his last game for Zimbabwe.

"I still have not ruled out playing for Zimbabwe in future but if playing in the ICL means I have ended my international career, I am not really worried," he said. "It's an opportunity for me to earn some money doing something I enjoy doing."

He added that he believed the ICL might be recognised in future if the younger Indian players decided to take part.
