He made his international debut for Zimbabwe at the age of 18, and retired from international cricket at the grand old age of 21. Sean Ervine who showed immense promise with bat and ball for Zimbabwe, left the country in 2004 to take up a 14 year career playing county cricket for Hampshire. He remembers his childhood days with fondness, talks at great length about his short but promising career with Zimbabwe. From watching Matthew Hayden score 380 against Zimbabwe in Perth, to his first and only hundred he scored against India at the Adelaide Oval in 2004. He remembers handing in his letter of retirement to Zimbabwe Cricket in tears, and he talks about his time with Hampshire, and the influence the great Shane Warne who captained Hampshire had over Sean’s development as a cricketer.
