Second Test to be played in Harare
The second Test between Zimbabwe and Pakistan has been moved from Bulawayo to Harare, with the series thus staying where it has been for the past few weeks.
The second Test between Zimbabwe and Pakistan has been moved from Bulawayo to Harare, with the series thus staying where it has been for the past few weeks.
The first Test is being played at the Harare Sports Club, and with the second game only two days after the first, it's assumed it would be a logistical nightmare to move the show across the country.
Another consideration is finances, as it would be way cheaper to stay put as the Zimbabwe bosses look to save money wherever possible. A Test against Bangladesh earlier this year as also changed for this reason.
The hosts came into this match on the back of further player unrest, with Sean Williams refusing to play as the team had not been paid what they were promised after a previous pay strike and subsequent negotiation.
