5. GRANT FLOWER:
In 2004, Zimbabwe Cricket Board sacked Heath Streak from Zimbabwe’s captaincy position just because of him being a white player. This did not go well with many cricketers and thus all of them united and threatened the board that if the board will not over turn their decision then the cricketers will quit. As the board did not listen to them, some of the cricketers unit including Grant Flower announced their retirement. Six years later, Grant made a surprising comeback and later because of his poor form, he pulled himself out from the team and announced his final retirement in 2010.
