Unfortunately, ZC could not secure all the required broadcast services – Zimbabwe Cricket

In an official statement released by Zimbabwe Cricket, it was stated that they have not been able to secure “the required broadcast services, including the Decision Review System” so they have decided to postpone the series for the second time.

“Unfortunately ZC could not secure, on short notice, all the required broadcast services, including the Decision Review System, due to the many cricket events happening elsewhere across the world,” stated a release from ZC on Friday (January 28).

The Managing Director of Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) Givemore Makoni said that the management was excited to host Afghanistan but due to the unavailability of required broadcast services “deferring the tour was the only option”.

“We were excited about hosting Afghanistan but, given the circumstances, deferring the tour was the only option, We are, however, looking forward to the rescheduling of the series as soon as practically possible,” ZC Managing Director Givemore Makoni said.

Meanwhile, Afghanistan, after the postponement of the Zimbabwe tour, are likely to travel to Bangladesh in February. The series will comprise of three ODI matches, which will be a part of the ICC Super League and two T20 International matches.
