ICC readmits Zimbabwe & Nepal as members; increases prize money of women's event

The ICC on Monday decided to readmit Zimbabwe and Nepal as its members following the conclusion of the Board meetings here.

Zimbabwe and Nepal were suspended in July this year following government interference in the running of the Board.

"I would like to thank the Zimbabwe Sports Minister for her commitment to the reinstatement of Zimbabwe Cricket. Her desire to work in support of Zimbabwe Cricket was clear and she has unconditionally complied with the conditions set down by the ICC Board," ICC Chairman Shashank Manohar said.

"Funding to Zimbabwe Cricket will continue to be on a controlled basis as part of a collective effort behind getting the game in Zimbabwe back on an even keel."
