Zimbabwe Set for First Game in Pakistan
Ozias Bvute denied reports that his country's cricketers have signed indemnity forms.
The Head of Zimbabwe Cricket, Ozias Bvute, has denied reports that his country's cricketers have signed indemnity forms ahead of their much-publicised tour of Pakistan.
Zimbabwe are the first Test-playing nation to visit the country since the 2009 attack on Sri Lanka's team bus.
On Tuesday, the Zimbabwe government said they hadn't cleared the tour amid security concerns. However, the country's Cricket authorities say the final decision lies with them, and Zimbabwe are now in Pakistan getting ready to play the opening T20 match on Friday.
Bvute is leading the touring party and says they have a full strength side to choose from.
