Utseya didn't turn out to be the same bowler after remodelling his action

The off-spinner from Zimbabwe was a brilliant bowler in the shorter formats of the game and had a long career. He was a familiar face in the Zimbabwean bowling attack, especially when they played in coloured clothes. He also captained the side and led his team to crucial wins, and made some crucial contributions to his side's cause.

He played 164 ODIs for his side, getting 133 wickets at a stunning economy rate of just 4.37 runs per over with a five-wicket haul against the Proteas. After having such a long career he was reported for suspect bowling action and had to remodel his action. Though he was picked in the 2015 World Cup side, with his remodelled action he didn't turn out to be the same bowler.
