Concerns over the state of the pitch at Harare's CFX Academy ground have led to Zimbabwe Cricket moving the remaining Faithwear Cup matches scheduled to be played there.
On Sunday, the game between Northerns and Easterns was abandoned after captains Elton Chigumbura and Hamilton Masakadza agreed the pitch was not good enough to play on. However, reports suggest that the umpires ruled that the game should go ahead after rain had delayed the start and were overruled by the captains.
It is now down to ZC's disciplinary committee to decide what punishment to hand down to the captains and their teams.
Tuesday's clash between Easterns and Westerns has been switched to the Harare Sports Club.
