‘Let players take centre stage’
JOHANNESBURG, Feb 6: World Cup executive director Ali Bacher has called for cricket players to replace politicians and administrators in the spotlight just two days before the start of the controversy-plagued tournament.
Bacher was schedule to play a key role on Thursday in deciding whether England’s match against Zimbabwe should go ahead in Harare.
“Once the opening ceremony gets underway, followed by a fantastic match between South Africa and West Indies on Sunday, I’m as confident as I can be that cricket will take over,” Bacher said.
“It’s time for the politicians and administrators, myself included, to take a back seat.”—Reuters
