LONDON, Sept 10: An International Cricket Council (ICC) hearing into allegations of racism in Zimbabwe cricket will take place in Harare between Sept 29 and Oct 1.

Fifteen white Zimbabwe players were sacked this year after refusing to play for their country following the removal of Heath Streak as captain.

The rebels have accused the selectors of racially biased selection policies. An ICC statement released on Friday said India's Solicitor General Goolam Vahanvati, and South African High Court Judge Steven Majiedt would conduct the hearing.

"Serious allegations have been made and it is important that these matters are properly investigated through this process," said ICC president Ehsan Mani. -Reuters
