(UTV|COLOMBO) The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Saturday(28) confirmed the release of funds to cash-strapped Zimbabwe Cricket board to help them in their endeavour to clear the outstanding dues to its players and staff members. The cricketing board issued a press release to announce the release of payment from ICC, which is a part of the apex body’s controlled funding payment plan. The details of the plan have not yet been disclosed by the board.
“Payment plan proposals will be discussed and communicated to all outstanding creditors once this process has been concluded. This brings welcome relief to the current staff and players and is the first step in the recovery process of cricket in Zimbabwe to its former health and strength,” the release said.
The release of funds has come just a few days after Zimbabwe Cricket board members announced that they have failed to meet ICC’s July 25 deadline on the payment of dues.
