Australia's Zimbabwe match in limbo

Australia's World Cup cricket match against Zimbabwe remains in limbo.

Players voiced their concerns with officials from the Australian Cricket Board (ACB) and the Australian High Commissioner in Zimbabwe at a meeting tonight in Potchefstroom, South Africa, to discuss fears about the game in Bulawayo on February 24.

ACB chief executive James Sutherland said Australia was still prepared at this stage to play the game but the situation in Zimbabwe would continue to be monitored.

"It was just another exercise for us in spending time with the players to further discuss the issue that we've got at hand," Sutherland said.

"There's no hiding from the fact that the players do have some concerns about Zimbabwe.

"What we're trying to do is make sure that they have as much information as possible in front of them before we go to Zimbabwe.

"We're committed to working through a process with our players and making sure they have all the information in respect to safety and security."

Sutherland said one option available for the team was to restrict the amount of time spent in Zimbabwe before the game.

Australia is scheduled to spend four days in Bulawayo but Sutherland said that could be cut back to even include flying into the country on the morning of the game and flying out that night.
