NEW DELHI, Nov 19: An International Cricket Council (ICC) task force is touring Zimbabwe to assess how to help the troubled southern African team return to the Test fold after nearly three years in the wilderness.

A three-member team led by West Indies board President Julian Hunte will submit its report to an ICC board meeting in January.

“The team will seek to establish the current state of cricket in Zimbabwe as it relates to the management and development of the game and also to conduct an assessment of the policies to restoring the [Zimbabwe] senior team to Test cricket,” an ICC release said on Wednesday.

“It is carrying out a detailed inspection of the cricket administration, facilities, resources and capabilities in Zimbabwe.”—Reuters
