WORCESTERSHIRE is one of the 18 counties that Zimbabwe Cricket Union chairman Peter Chingoka has written to as he tries to raise the stakes in the battle over England's tour to the African nation later this year.
The England and Wales Cricket Board are currently debating whether to tour in October after receiving Foreign Office advice that it would be inadvisable to do so in the current climate under president Robert Mugabe's regime.
However, Chingoka has gone directly to the counties and warned them if England decide to pull out there could be far-reaching financial ramifications --with a huge fine being touted as punishment -- not only for the national team but also the counties down the line.
