While it's raining in Kwekwe, Riki Wessels has tweeted something interesting (if unsurprising):
Any danger of getting paid?! 6 weeks, no cash! #lasttriptozim #notplayinginthenewyear

Why does anyone bother playing cricket in Zimbabwe? Not paying players is just pathetic and is why players like Sean Ervine are not comfortable returning.

I guess players just won't play for the jumper any more...

In all seriousness, this is a problem that needs resolving now. The national team player payments should be dealt with as a matter of urgency, the domestic players right afterwards.

The ICC should just suspend Zimbabwe Cricket as a member until the players are paid.
