Zimbabwe hope to make a bright start under new coach Heath Streak when they mark their 100th Test in the opening game of a two-match series against Sri Lanka at Harare Sports Club on Saturday.
Streak was handed the Zimbabwe reins two weeks ago as a long-term replacement for Dav Whatmore, who was sacked by Zimbabwe Cricket at the end of May.
A former Zimbabwe captain who played 65 Tests, Streak’s appointment has given the team much-needed structure ahead of the series, while they have also enjoyed some welcome match practice against Pakistan A over the past month.
