Malcolm Conn has been an outspoken critic of the ICC's handling of Zimbabwe, among other issues, for a long time, so it is not surprising that he writes in the Australian the ICC "endorsed corruption and racism at its board meeting in Dubai this week".
Despite a KPMG audit finding "serious financial irregularities" with Zimbabwe, no action was taken against the country or its dubious cricket administrators. Nor was the ICC's cricket committee chairman, Sunil Gavaskar, sanctioned for claiming in a newspaper column during the Harbhajan Singh racial abuse fiasco that white South African match referee Mike Procter was biased against Indian players because of the colour of their skin. The ICC made no mention of Gavaskar in its official comment yesterday and failed to release full findings of the Zimbabwe audit.
