Ireland, New Zealand Praised For Zimbabwe Tours

Harare: Zimbabwe's sports minister David Coltart has applauded the cricket boards of Ireland and New Zealand for agreeing to send teams to the country.

Ireland will play three ODIs against the full Zimbabwe team in addition to an Intercontinental Cup match against the hosts' second-string XI starting on Sept. 20.

New Zealand is also set to resume ties with Zimbabwe after naming an A side to tour the unstable Southern African nation in October. The last time the countries faced each other was in 2005.

Coltart said on Tuesday he is "pleased that they are coming."

Scotland, however, has pulled out of its scheduled tour, a decision Coltart says he was "disappointed by."
