I'm sure of that as well, Mongoose, but it then gets far beyond cricket. Many of these guys would, for example, require work permits in order to work in the UK, and perhaps in other places as well. You get into matters of employment law, nationality and immigration status, etc., which is far beyond the scope of the ICC (and beyond my ken, to be honest). I don't say solutions cannot be found, but they would need government involvement, and governments, so far, have turned their backs on the wider Zimbabwe issue as it affects cricket.
