Harare, June 21 (TIWN) The board of Zimbabwe Cricket was on Friday suspended with immediate effect by the Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC) which is a government parastatal and also the governing organisation of all registered sporting associations in the country.

Zimbabwe Cricket’s acting managing director Givemore Makoni was also banned from his position, a report stated.  Tavengwa Mukuhlani's election as chairman had put ZC in conflict with SRC, which had issued a directive last week to suspend the ZC's electoral process.

But the board went ahead and conducted the meeting which resulted in the election of Mukuhlani for a four-year term, leading to direct conflict between both organisations.
