Zimbabwe on ICC agenda

The ICC are set to discuss Zimbabwe's cricketing future at a meeting in Dubai next week.

Cricket South Africa has already severed all bi-lateral arrangements with their neighbours, and as a result, the ICC executive board will discuss Zimbabwe's status next Wednesday.

"The ICC has never concerned itself with how member countries are governed," said ICC president-elect David Morgan, speaking at the launch of the ICC World Twenty20 2009.

"However, yesterday Cricket South Africa announced that they were scrapping bi-lateral contact with Zimbabwe Cricket. It has been decided to put Zimbabwe on the agenda of the executive board meeting of the ICC which takes place next Wednesday in Dubai.

"Cricket South Africa's decision yesterday is hugely significant. Clearly they will want something done.

"They're very influential in terms of southern African cricket and Zimbabwe is part of that.

"Quite where the various members will stand on it I really don't know - all of this is new as of five o'clock yesterday."
