JOHANNESBURG An International Cricket Council (ICC) delegation will visit Zimbabwe in June to assess progress made by Harare cricket authorities in implementing recommendations by the world cricket governing body meant to help improve the local game. ICC president David Morgan will lead the delegation that will also include the organisations chief executive Haroon Lorgat. The delegation will receive further updates on the implementation of the 35 recommendations of the ICC Zimbabwe Task Team which was chaired by Dr Julian Hunte (West Indies), said the ICC in a statement released last week.
It will also discuss with Zimbabwe Cricket the progress made in the reconstruction of domestic cricket and the prospects for Zimbabwes return to Test match cricket, from which they voluntarily withdrew in 2006, within the next two years.
Zimbabwe withdrew from Test cricket in January 2006 after being left depleted following confrontations between senior players and the administration.
