International career

Carlisle became the Zimbabwean captain in early 2002. After losing five out of six Test matches he lost the captaincy and was not picked for the 2003 Cricket World Cup.

A right batsman, he was often shuffled up and down the order. He made his maiden Test century in October 2003, against Australia at Sydney.

In 2004,he along with Sean Ervine set the record for the highest 4th wicket partnership for Zimbabwe in ODIS (202).[2]

After and unbeaten 103 in a Test against Bangladesh in early 2004, he became involved in the dispute with the Zimbabwean Cricket Board over the controversial sacking of Heath Streak. As one of the rebel players he refused to play for Zimbabwe and after a brief return in 2005 he had had enough of the internal struggles and retired from all forms of the game.
