ICC bid to end Zimbabwe dispute

KOLKATA, JUNE 8. In a bid to resolve the Zimbabwe imbroglio, the International Cricket Council has convened a special two-day meeting of cricket heavyweights, including BCCI chief Jamgohan Dalmiya, in Dubai from Wednesday.

Confirming his participation, Dalmiya said the ICC as well as the parties involved in the dispute wanted him to attend the extraordinary meeting, called by ICC President Ehsan Mani.

Apart from Dalmiya, Cricket Australia's Bob Merriman, United Cricket Board of South Africa President Raymond Mali and some of the leading Zimbabwe players would be attending.

The meeting would also give Dalmiya an opportunity to discuss with UCBSA president the itinerary of the South African team's tour of India in November this year.

Last month too, Dalmiya had been invited to mediate in the Zimbabwe crisis, but after hectic telephonic discussions it could only be averted temporarily with the Zimbabwe-Australia Test series scrapped at the eleventh hour to avoid the series being stripped of Test status by ICC. — PTI
