Zimbabwe withdraws from Test cricket

HARARE: Zimbabwe was withdrawn from Test cricket for this year, by its government-appointed interim committee, on Wednesday.

"The decision to suspend its participation in Test matches was reached by ZC after consideration of the recent performances by the National and A teams," Zimbabwe Cricket said in a statement issued after a meeting.

Zimbabwe was scheduled to travel to West Indies in April for two Tests and five ODIs but ZC said it will ask the West Indies Cricket Board if its team can play only the limited-overs series.

But only last week, ZC chairman Peter Chingoka assured WICB representative Tony Marshall that it would undertake a full tour, at a meeting of the International Cricket Council in Pakistan. — AP
