the board at it again, this time failing to honour its promise, tough times ahead.

http://www.3-mob.com/sport/zimbabwe-cri ... 1dQkNUzbIV

Zimbabwe Cricket has announced that it will not be able to meet the 25 July 2018 deadline to pay its players and staff.

In a statement it said:

Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) is not be able to fulfil the commitment to pay staff and players all monies owed to them on the 25th of July 2018. This is deeply regretted and we apologise unreservedly to all affected.

When the commitment to pay the salaries and match fees was made, ZC was not aware of the stringent measures that the International Cricket Council (ICC) would introduce as part of the controlled spending which has slowed down the release of expected funds.

However, the ICC and ZC have worked on an interim arrangement to fast-track an exceptional payment specifically for staff and players. The exact details and timing of this payment will be known within 48 hours.

While we are encouraged by this development, we understand the full impact that this late payment has on staff and players and their ability to pay their accounts, landlords and the like.

The ICC and the Government of Zimbabwe have thrown ZC a lifeline which all involved in cricket in Zimbabwe deeply appreciate. ZC and the ICC remain committed to working positively together to forge a sustainable cricket future. These stringent measures have been put in place to ensure good governance.

It also needs to be mentioned that payment proposals for creditors are being planned by ZC and the ICC.

So many people and organisations have shown patience and support during this turbulent time and ZC hopes this backing will be repaid as cricket in Zimbabwe is restored to financial and cricket health.

The support given by the ICC and the Government of Zimbabwe gives ZC the opportunity to move forward with confidence. To achieve this, we need all involved in cricket to give their wholehearted backing as we go through this challenging period.

The payment of salaries has resulted in dispute which has led to some players excusing themselves from playing cricket.

What happens now remains to be seen.

First time they’ve issued a bullshit empty apology, they must be feeling the heat.
Don’t accept any apologies gentlemen, they don’t mean it or there would have been thousands more.
Fuck them and the horse they rode in on. Stand firm gents, no future under these dogs.

I don't understand why the ICC is delaying the player and staff payments!

Nothing much ZC can do about it other than requesting the ICC to expedite.

What makes me happy though is that the ICC is indeed having strict measures in place and henceforth, as long as the ICC are controlling the payments the players salaries and governance should not be an issue.

This can only be good for Zimbabwe cricket and the players.

I don’t know if this was posted on this forum before.
There’s no depth to which these guys won’t stoop.
Endless lies and bullshit.

Sam - that article says ZC didn’t realize how serious ICC was about all of this. I mean seriously!! What kind of statement is that?

It sounds to me like there’s some other pressing payment that needs to be taken care of first. Let’s have a wild guess what that is. :lol:

Here are the motley crew that drive the bus.
Pending election results their time is limited.
Should we get cheated again, which is highly likely, we will all be taking cover from the inevitable repercussions, but in the meantime we have a few days to laugh at them.
