HARARE, Mar 12 (Reuters): Afghanistan's proposed tour of Zimbabwe for five one-day international matches next month has been cancelled because of broadcast costs, Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) said on Monday.
The Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) had asked Zimbabwe Cricket to host the series in Harare to help their team prepare for the World Cup in England.
"Although the two boards had agreed to share the tour expenses, the prohibitive costs of broadcasting the matches live on television - which the ACB was insisting on - unfortunately derailed the proposed series," ZC said a statement on Monday.
Zimbabwe did not qualify for this year's World Cup.
