Zimbabwean cricket team must be banned from playing internationals - Foster
3 July 2008


Mr Don Foster

Commenting ahead of the International Cricket Council (ICC) meeting tomorrow, which is due to discuss Zimbabwe’s membership, Liberal Democrat Shadow Culture, Media and Sport Secretary, Don Foster said:

"It is extremely important that all members of the ICC recognise the appalling situation in Zimbabwe.

"The ICC must ban Zimbabwe’s cricket team from all international matches. It is unacceptable for Zimbabwe to be represented on the world stage while Mugabe’s tyranny continues.

"The cricket world should take a stand in order to register a protest against the abuses occurring there."
