Former Zimbabwe coach Heath Streak, has filed a $1 million defamation lawsuit against Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) board chairperson, Tavengwa Mukuhlani [http://www.espn.in/cricket/story/_/id/23073362/tavengwa-mukuhlani-stands-down]. Mukuhlani allegedly threw ‘slanderous statements’ directed at Streak. According to Streak’s lawyer Gerald Mlotshwa, the board chairperson’s intention was to “deliberately tarnish the plaintiff’s reputation”. Mukuhlani said in his defence, “Streak was the coach and selector, he was entitled to change the team as he found fit but the question is: why did he change the team in the manner that he did? “The white players knew PJ Moor was going to play [against UAE] but none of the black players knew about it. Zhuwao was only informed [that he wouldn’t play] in the warm-up. Why didn’t Streak inform the entire team?” 

Former Zimbabwe coach Heath Streak was livid when he was accused of racism in
terms of player selection. In response, he filed a defamation case against
Tavengwa Mukuhlani, the accuser in this case
