Scheduled tour was postponed over security fears
Officials held positive talks in Christchurch
New Zealand plan to resume cricket tours of Zimbabwe next year after talks between officials over security.
New Zealand Cricket postponed a scheduled tour to Zimbabwe this month for the second time over security fears, but a meeting between chief executive Justin Vaughan and Zimbabwe’s Sports Minister David Coltart in Christchurch appears to have made progress.
Coltart said there would be no security problems for touring teams, and that a tour to Zimbabwe by New Zealand would be “a positive development”.
“I think there is a greater openness to tour now, which I’m delighted about,” he told Radio New Zealand.
