With the ICC and other factors turning up the heat on the ECB 1. Will England tour Zimbabwe later this year? 2. Should they Tour?

I think that they will tour (as to which players will pull out on moral grounds we shall have to wait and see), the huge financial threat makes this almost certain (certainly if the Counties in any way think it could harm their payout)

I also think that they should tour - The main weapon of human rights campaigners is publicity, (if nobody knows it is happening , who is going to stop it?), an England Tour will give them a months worth of front / back page headlines. Plus everybody else is going and what makes us so special that the rules shouldn't apply.

It would be nice though if the Government just put an end to it, by banning the ECB from sending a side, that way everybody is happy - I have not seen anybody say they would object to this course of action (maybe it would be different if the team or anybody in the country wanted to go, but they don't).
