Zimbabwe Pulls Out of World Twenty20

Zimbabwe has pulled out of next summer's World Twenty20 but the ICC has decided not to suspend the country from international cricket
Zimbabwe has pulled out of the World Twenty20 cup to be held in England next summer, but the International Cricket Council has decided not to suspend the country from international cricket.

The ICC has been discussing Zimbabwe's cricketing future at a board meeting in Dubai after England and South Africa broke off cricketing relations last week.

The governing body's decision should end concerns that the dispute with Zimbabwe, which has the support of India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, could threaten England's hosting of the Twenty20 tournament. The Zimbabwe cricket union said the country has retained its ICC member status.
