The 2003–04 Logan Cup was a first-class cricket competition held in Zimbabwe from 12 September 2003 – 12 April 2004.[1] It was won by Mashonaland, who won three of their six matches to top the table with 78 points.[2]

Race issues

The Sunday Telegraph released a report, citing political tensions as a factor in a possibility of no white players being permitted on the Zimbabwean national cricket team, with Heath Streak, along with 9 other white players being removed immediately prior to the Logan Cup, resulting in their absence from various teams during the '03-'04 Cup.[3]
