About 6 hours ago I thought to myself, it's been a while since the ZC board has been in the media. Lo-and-behold, today on Cricinfo, this appears.Martin Williamson at Cricinfo wrote:It's been a rare good week for Zimbabwe cricket with their victory over West Indies in the opening ODI at Harare, but off the field things are not so rosy.
A report by Malcolm Conn in today's Australian newspaper claims that Peter Chingoka, the Zimbabwe cricket chairman, and Ozias Bvute, the board's controversial managing director, could face charges under the ICC's code of ethics next year.
Chingoka, who has been ZC president since about 1993, has friends in the ICC, I think he is the only reason Zimbabwe managed to keep playing at the top level for the best few years. If he goes, I'm worried about his replacement. I don't really think there is anyone experienced enough that could successfully replace him, bar Dave Ellman-Brown, who would be an unlikely replacement. Dave Everington is another possibility, having been vice president about 8 years ago IIRC, but again, an unlikely replacement.
Luckily, Zimbabwe has wins over Australia and West Indies which should be enough to defend any attempts to revoke their full member status should Chingoka go.
What is the feeling around here about Chingoka and a possible overhaul of the board?
