Leave talking to us, England chiefs tell Hussain

February 11, 2003 16:13 IST

England's players have been told by their board to keep their minds on playing cricket while officials continue negotiating whether the team should fulfil their World Cup match in strife-torn Zimbabwe.

Captain Nasser Hussain and his team met England and Wales Cricket Board chairman David Morgan on Tuesday.

He told them that he and ECB officials would take care of all non-cricketing matters.

The England team have had just one net session in four days, spending more time in meetings over Thursday's game in Harare.

The players are worried about security and social and political unrest in Zimbabwe.

England missed a Monday deadline set by International Cricket Council chief Malcolm Gray to make up their minds over the Group A game.

Hussain told a new conference on Monday that some of his team mates had been reduced to tears in trying to decide whether to play their Harare match.

World Cup organisers last week turned down England's request to move the match to South Africa on security grounds
