Cricket: NZC hold off decision on Zimbabwe tour

Justin Vaughan

New Zealand Cricket CEO Justin Vaughan is urging patience over the issue of Zimbabwe.

The Black Caps are scheduled to tour there next July, but the ICC is conducting a review into the state of cricket in the strife torn country.

Zimbabwe has pulled out of the Twenty20 World Cup next year and South African and England have both severed ties.

Vaughan says there is no need to decide right now if the tour will go ahead. He says they will wait and see what happens over the next year.

Vaughan says many things can happen in 12 months, such as a regime change, which would make them more sympathetic towards Zimbabwe.
