England cut Zimbabwe cricket ties
After years of fudging around the issue, finally common sense has prevailed and the UK government have 'ordered' the ECB to cut ties with Zimbabwe cricket.

The Zimbabwe cricket team has been in decline for years now, as well as the first class game in the country thanks to the large amount of government meddling. Until things are sorted out there for the good, I really can't see how Zimbabwe can be involved on the international scene.
After years of fudging around the issue, finally common sense has prevailed and the UK government have 'ordered' the ECB to cut ties with Zimbabwe cricket.
The England and Wales Cricket Board has announced it has suspended links with Zimbabwe Cricket.
Culture Secretary Andy Burnham handed a letter to the ECB clarifying Prime Minister Gordon Brown's stance on his views on Zimbabwe's tour next summer.
"The government has made a clear instruction that Zimbabwe's tour scheduled for 2009 should be cancelled," said an ECB statement.
