Ray Price is a left-arm spinner with good flight who won high praise for his seven wickets in his second Test against Bangladesh at Harare in April 2001. He is also a dogged batsman who opens the innings for the Midlands club in Zimbabwean
domestic cricket, but has a tendency to get out in the twenties and thirties. He enjoyed a superb year in 2003-04, taking 33 wickets at 22.42 in five Tests against Australia, West Indies and Bangladesh, including three five-fors. But just as he established himself, he threw in his lot with Heath Streak and the rebel cricketers and found himself ostracised, and then went to England to resume his career, signing for Worcestershire in August 2004. Price suffers from partial deafness owing to the effects of meningitis as a youngster. He is a trained installer of refrigeration and air-conditioning units. He is a handy golfer, but his uncle, Nick, is one of world's best: he won the British Open in 1994. After three-and-a-half seasons, and in spite of his excellence in the one-day format, he rejected a new contract with Worcestershire for 2008. In November, he came out of exile after Zimbabwe Cricket offered him a new contract for their series against the West Indies.
