The Zimbabwe team that reached the Super Six of the 1999 World Cup: Where are they now?

Alistair Campbell

Behind Zimbabwe's meteoric rise in the late 90s was the helping hand of the one of modern cricket's finest ever captains, Alistair Campbell. The then Zimbabwean team was a force to reckon with as it boasted of some of the finest cricketers the country has ever produced.

But it was Campbell's direction as a captain that helped the team achieve greatness.

As a batsman, he was prolific with his booming attacking drives when in full flow. With over 2000 Test runs and over 5000 ODI runs to his credit, he was one of the greatest Zimbabwean batsmen of that era.

Taking on the captaincy in 1996, he led Zimbabwe to their maiden series victory against Pakistan in 1998-99. He stepped down captaincy in 1999 and announced his retirement after the World Cup in 2003.

He was made the chairman of the Zimbabwean cricket committee in 2009 and also served as the chief selector for the national team. He also went on to serve as the director of the Zimbabwean cricket board.
