Zimbabwe Cricket Supporters Union has welcomed the intervention by the SRC. ZCSU has been amongst those who had over the years wrote to SRC and the Ministry of Sports to intervene in cricket administration as it was clear that the Board has failed to execute it's mandate.
Since 2011 Zim has beaten Ban twice at home, Pakistan once and played competitively against New Zealand & Sri Lanka in 3 years. From then, the competitiveness has been waning each series with a low of failing to qualify for the 2019 Cricket World Cup after losing to UAE
After the disastrous World Cup Qualifiers, calls for the resignation of the entire ZC Board grew louder but the Board did not heed the call and we called upon SRC to intervene but to no avail. We are happy that at long last SRC has intervened.
As ZCSU, we expect:
Thorough audits of finances and bringing to book all those who corruptly benefited from ZC
Appointment of professionals with a sound cricket background to run the affairs of Cricket in Zimbabwe.
Solid grassroots programs to produce future cricketers.
We call upon ICC to be lenient with Zim as it seeks to cleanse it's house. As Supporters we are 100% behind this intervention as it is for the best for the game.The game hasn't been growing as the results are showing, so in deed it needed drastic actions to stop the rot.
