His older brother Paul Strang also played international cricket for Zimbabwe.
Strang was a left-arm medium bowler and due to his nagging accuracy was hard to get away in ODI cricket.
He played his last game for Zimbabwe in July 2001 and in 2002 he moved to South Africa due to political unrest.
As a result, when he attempted a comeback in 2003–04 the Zimbabwean Cricket Union banned him.
He coaches at Lilfordia School, where Alistair Campbell and his father are also heavily involved.
