Miami - The West Indies tour of Zimbabwe
will go ahead this month after a security report gave the
all-clear for the trip to the troubled African nation.
"The decision to proceed was based on a favourable report
from an independent security firm," said a statement from the
West Indies Cricket Board (WICB).
"The West Indies Players' Association and West Indies
Cricket Board have agreed the tour should proceed but will
continually monitor the situation in Zimbabwe from the
perspective of safety, security and food integrity."
West Indies play Zimbabwe in Harare on Nov 30 in the first
of five one-day games. The Africans are not competing in Test
matches.
The Caribbean team then travel straight to South Africa for
three Tests, five one-dayers and two Twenty20 internationals.
