Gavin Briant was an attacking batsman and excellent cover fielder who hit the headlines when making an unbeaten 103 for Zimbabwe B against England A in 1989-90, after a season spent with Worcestershire in their 2nd XI. In 1990 he was part of the Zimbabwe side which won the ICC Trophy, but he lost form for a while and missed out on selection for the 1992 World Cup. He did win a place on Zimbabwe's first overseas tour, to India in 1992-93, where he made his only Test appearance, and that season he also won his four ODI caps and toured England. His form thereafter fell away and he appeared little in any form of the game.
