Gavin Ewing - Zimbabwe - Batsman

Ewing is an off-spinning all-rounder who came to the limelight in the U-19 World Cup in 1999, where he was among the top ten wicket takers. His father had a huge influence on him and played a big role in developing his bowling. He was selected to the national side against the touring Pakistani's in 2003, but didn't play a game. After nine months, he got his first Test cap against Australia at Sydney.

Ewing was discarded from the side by Dave Houghton for being unfit and overweight. However, he did make a comeback and scored a 71 in the second Test against Bangladesh. He was also one of the rebels, but settled his issues with the board soon after and return to the team for the tour of England.

As Zimbabwe cricket was going through shambles, Ewing decided to go to England and spent a season playing for Paignton in the Premier Division of the Devon Cricket League. He came back to lead Matabeleland Tuskers and played a big part in leading them to the Logan Cup triumph in 2010/11.
