'Inside the envelope were pictures of dead people'

In 2004, wicketkeeper Tatenda Taibu made history when he became Zimbabwe's first black captain and at 20 years old, the youngest skipper in Test history.

Just over a year later, he was exiled in Bangladesh, on the run from a cricket board that had threatened the safety of him and his family.

Taibu has documented his journey in a new autobiography, Keeper of Faith. He speaks to Stumped's Alison Mitchell about his experience.
