Safety, rather than politics, will decide whether World Cup fixtures can be played in Zimbabwe next year.
A delegation from the International Cricket Council (ICC) will make a trip to the country later this month to help decide whether six matches scheduled for Harare and Bulawayo can go ahead.
The delegation, headed by ICC chief executive Malcolm Speed, will spend three days in the country from 26 November, and will prepare a report within 10 days.
ICC president Malcolm Gray said that each of the six countries scheduled to play in Zimbabwe, including Australia and England, had committed to do so.
Four players from Bangladesh's national cricket team have been injured after the motorised rickshaw they were in was involved in an accident in Dhaka.
Alok Kapali, Tushar Imran, Tapash Baisya and Rafiqul Islam all required hospital treatment and only Tushar has been sent home.
A Bangladesh Cricket Board official said their vehicle overturned while averting a collision with a truck in the Dhanmandi area of the capital.
The four players were part of the national team that toured South Africa for a Test series last month.
The ICC Player Contracts Committee which met for the first time via telephone recently to consider the Player Terms for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2003 has started working on the issues raised.
"The submissions received were valuable in clearly identifying the concerns over the player terms," said Malcolm Gray, chairman of ICC Development International, the commercial arm of the ICC.
"While the issues are not new, they remain complex and difficult and today's meeting was just the first step in seeking to resolve these matters," he said.
Gray said the Committee was able to consider the submissions from Boards and players which identified their concerns.
Indian leg-spinner Anil Kumble became only the third bowler in history to claim 300 wickets in both Tests and one-day internationals when he bowled West Indian Marlon Samuels on Wednesday.
The 32-year-old Kumble is playing his 234th one-day match. He also has 349 scalps in 76 Tests.
The only other bowlers to achieve that double are Pakistani frontline seamers Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis.
