He is a professional cricketer and a fast bowler represented Zimbabwe in world cricket he was the first black cricketer and the youngest person to play for Zimbabwe.
Controversies in his career :
- Olonga and his white team mate Andy Flower achieved international recognition by wearing a black armband in the match against Namibia at Harare Sports Club, to “mourn the death of democracy” in Zimbabwe under the government led by Robert Mugabe.
- Despite the protest, Flower continued to play for Zimbabwe in the tournament, but Olonga was omitted from the team for six matches, ostensibly on grounds of his poor form including a walkover against England who refused to travel to Harare. Olonga was selected to play in one more World Cup match, against Kenya at Bloemfontein in the Super Sixes stage of the tournament on 12 March.
