Zimbabwe on Thursday reversed its decision not to allow 13 foreign journalists into the country in a bid to save England’s stalled cricket tour.
The government’s Information Department has now cleared all 55 journalists who applied for accreditation to cover the tour, the state-run Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation reported.
Information officials said the 13 initially refused entry had not supplied sufficient information on their application forms, but said all the necessary details had now been clarified.
England and Wales Cricket Board chairperson David Morgan earlier told BBC Radio the tour would be called off unless a ”significant number” of the banned journalists were allowed in to Zimbabwe to cover the games. – Sapa-AP
