He was at the forefront of the 2004 strike which was sparked by Streak's sacking from captaincy and from national selection for complaining about alleged racism by selectors and politically motivated policies. He was one of the 15 contracted players to be fired from the team after showing support to ousted Heath Streak. As one of the rebel players he refused to play for Zimbabwe and after a brief return in 2005 he had had enough of the internal struggles and retired from all forms of the game. He revealed that he was fed up by the things which transpired within Zimbabwe Cricket and insisted that he was tired of the politics in Zimbabwe after announcing his retirement.
