Zimbabwe's Flower to retire after World Cup

Zimbabwe batsman Andy Flower today revealed he will retire from international cricket as soon as his team's World Cup campaign comes to an end.

And he insisted that he has no regrets about the black armband protest he staged, along with teammate Henry Olonga, to register his anger at President Robert Mugabe’s regime in his native country. "I have no regrets about what I have done at this tournament," said the 34-year-old batsman. "The only thing I regret is getting run out when I had made 37 in the last match against New Zealand."

That incident contributed to his team's six wicket defeat which has meant Wednesday's Super Six clash with Kenya in Bloemfontein has become a must-win situation if Zimbabwe are to have any hope of reaching the semi-finals.
