The delegation headed by ICC chief executive, Malcolm Speed, will be reviewing security arrangements for all teams scheduled to play in Zimbabwe during the ICC CWC 2003, to ensure that any concerns held by the countries playing in Zimbabwe are identified and addressed.
Said Speed: "The Zimbabwe Cricket Union (ZCU) is a full member of the ICC and has the right to host these games. They are very important both commercially and promotionally for the sport in Zimbabwe.
"Nevertheless, it is clear that in some countries there are genuine safety and security concerns that need to be addressed."
Following the visit, the delegation will prepare a report within 10 days recommending the appropriate course of action of the ICC in relation to the World Cup matches scheduled for Zimbabwe.
The International Cricket Council's (ICC) Security Delegation arrives in Zimbabwe today to begin a three-day inspection of the security arrangements and preparations ahead of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2003.
