ZCU Summit To Decide England Tour Destiny

Zimbabwe's planned tour of England in May hinges on the outcome of a Zimbabwe Cricket Union board meeting at the end of the month.

England's decision not to fulfil their World Cup Pool A fixture in Harare sparked fears that the ZCU would boycott the tour in retaliation.

Speculation has been rife that the ZCU would be put under political pressure by the government to pull out of the tour.

ZCU chairman Peter Chingoka said that an official position would only be made after a board meeting on March 29, but the indications at this stage are that the tour will go ahead.

"The British have asked us to reconfirm our tour and we are having discussions. An official position will be made after our board meeting. We will then seek a blessing from the Sports Commission," said Chingoka.

Every Zimbabwean sports association that intends to go on an international tour has to seek permission from the government-appointed Sports Commission.
