East London - England skipper Nasser Hussain threatened to quit the Cricket World Cup following the England and Wales Cricket Board's (ECB's) decision on Saturday not to appeal against the ICC technical committee's rejection of the team's application to reschedule their game in Zimbabwe.
This, after Hussain was reportedly at the centre of a storm involving a heated exchange last Friday with International Cricket Council (ICC) chief executive Malcolm Speed over the Zimbabwe boycott controversy.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) apparantly apologised to Speed, according to a report in the Daily Telegraph.
England have conceded the full points to Zimbabwe and indicated that the penalty of a reported £1m for not honouring the Harare fixture on Thursday would go before arbetration.
