Zimbabwe Cricket under fire once more

Bvute looks to defuse criticism after Bangladesh whitewash

Steven Price in Harare

December 11, 2006

Ozias Bvute, Zimbabwe Cricket's managing director, has tried to cool temperatures after Zimbabwe's humiliation in Bangladesh, saying the board will take its time to act on the series whitewash.

The series whitewash has sparked widespread condemnation back home, and stirred up debate on the future of the team's management staff and under-performing players. But Bvute told Zimbabwe's Standard newspaper that the board would not be making any rush decisions with regards to the team's future.

"Obviously we are disappointed by the team's overall performance. The players have not been able to acclimatise and again, there was always apprehension before the tour started that Zimbabwe would struggle against their spinners. But there will be a post-mortem when the team returns, where the technical committee will be meeting with the coaches to make a review of the tour and decide on the way forward.

"Whatever comes out of that meeting would then be tabled before the ZC board in early January. If there are going to be any changes, that would have to be decided by the board, after full consultation with the technical committee."

Bvute added that no dates had been set for either of the two meeting or for the ZC board elections, which were postponed last month, following a directive from the Sports and Recreation Commission. But he added that ZC has set December 29 as the interim date for the board elections which are expected to grant Peter Chingoka yet another term, despite his having been in charge at a time the game inside Zimbabwe has sunk to new lows both domestically and internationally.
