Afro-Asia tournament postponed

The Afro-Asia A-team tournament scheduled to be held in Bangladesh in the last two weeks of January has been postponed following the withdrawal of Zimbabwe.

Only four countries - Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, India and Kenya - remained in the tournament, and India are thought to have expressed reservations as to the strength of the side they could field because of other commitments.

A spokesman for the Afro-Asian Cricket Corporation said that it was hoped to re-arrange the tournament for the end of February.
