Olonga on the run

AFP, Johannesburg
Zimbabwean fast bowler Henry Olonga, who announced his retirement from international cricket on Saturday, has gone into hiding to dodge Zimbabwe's secret police, a British paper said Sunday.
Seven plainclothes officers from Zimbabwe's secret police, believed to be from the Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO), arrived on Friday in East London, South Africa where Zimbabwe faced the Sri Lankans, The Sunday Telegraph reported.
Olonga "had been told the officers intended to 'escort him home', where a likely charge of treason awaited," the newspaper said. The punishment for treason in Zimbabwe is death.
In mid-afternoon, officers from the World Cup-appointed Close Protection Unit returned to the players' hotel and packed all of Olonga's personal possessions in case he was intercepted after the match, the paper said.
"He was pretty shaken but he seemed to be coping as well as anyone can in a situation like that," a teammate told The Sunday Telegraph after the match on Saturday which Zimbabwe lost by 74 runs.
"He sounded reasonably clear about what was going to happen, if it all went well, and was staying positive," the source said.
England remains Olonga's most likely final destination, as long as political asylum is granted, the paper said.
Earlier the Zimbabwean fast bowler made a retirement statement:
"I have been receiving threatening e-mails since the protests which I believe have made it dangerous for me to return to Zimbabwe," Olonga, 26, said.
"It is with great sadness that I am officially announcing my retirement from international cricket," the statement said.
Meanwhile, the Zimbabwe Cricket Union (ZCU) on Sunday issued a statement condemning Olonga's conduct.
"The Union notes with regret that in announcing his official retirement from international
cricket, Olonga has, in a clear act of continued insubordination, gone on to yet again use the platform of the World Cup to make a political statement.
"This is in contravention of the advice he got from the tournament's Event Technical Committee and the instruction the Union wrote to him following his statement before the Zimbabwe Group A match against Namibia in Harare last month.
"The ZCU is also disappointed that while Olonga had seemingly followed the provision of his contract regarding making public statements and handed in his retirement news release to the team officials, he had simultaneously released to the media at the Zimbabwe-Sri Lanka match at Buffalo Park the same statement, albeit embargoed until after the match.
"Even when he was advised by the team manager against including political sentiments in his announcement, Olonga did not state that he had already released the statement."
