Craig Brian Wishart (born 9 January 1974) is a former Zimbabwean cricketer, who played Tests and ODIs for 10 years. He played domestic cricket for Mashonaland and Midlands as well as the Zimbabwean national team.
He was later self-employed in Zimbabwe and played social cricket there.
Wishart made his Test debut in 1995 in Harare. He has a Test record batting score of 114, with a 22.40 batting average, and a one-day record batting score of 172 not out, achieved against Namibia in the 2003 Cricket World Cup,[1] the sixth highest in World Cup history and the highest scored by a Zimbabwean player in ODIs.[2] [3]
Wishart retired in 2005, citing "stress from the problems in local cricket", and was one of many senior internationals to announce their retirements in protest against the local governing body's controversial decisions during the early 2000s.[4]
