The Government’s stance on Zimbabwe and cutting sporting links should make things easier because the last thing we want is captain Michael Vaughan and any of his team having to get involved in this complex issue.   Let’s hope the ECB comes up with a clear-cut decision and pretty soon.

I do feel for the cricketers of Zimbabwe because nothing that’s happened has been their fault and now their livelihoods are being threatened if teams opt not to visit their country. But you only have to see the pictures coming out of Zimbabwe along with the stories and documents to realise that now is not the right time to be visiting.

It’s ridiculous that the ICC should say that Tours can not be cancelled on moral grounds.   Do they want our cricketers to turn a blind eye to what’s happening there?  We can’t and that’s why we should not be going.
 
It’s time to clear it up… right now.
