Australia's Zimbabwe tour under review
Posted: Tuesday, March 26, 2002MELBOURNE: Australia's planned two-Test tour of Zimbabwe next month is still on but is being reviewed daily because of safety concerns, the Australian Cricket Board (ACB) said on Tuesday.
Media reports on Tuesday had suggested the ACB was on the verge of cancelling the tour following advice from the Australia government that Australians should avoid Zimbabwe because of the risk in being caught up in violent incidents.
"We review it on a daily basis," ACB Public Affairs General Manager Brendan McClements said on Tuesday.
"We'll have no hesitation in pulling out if it becomes unsafe, at any stage during or before the tour.
"In the ideal world, if it becomes clear that it is unsafe, that decision will be made sooner rather than later. I don't think there's a question of compromising player safety." MOREPrinter friendly version
