Just when everyone thought they were all tied up, The Independent reports a last-minute hitch with the new player contracts. As written, the contracts stipulate the RBZ forex auction rates to be used in calculating payments, but the auction system is no longer used since the Zimbabwe dollar was recently floated. Using the new interbank exchange system seems the logical way forward, and players' representative Clive Field has approached ZC for clarification of the matter:

"It's not the union's fault and it's not the players' fault. We have now sought urgent dialogue with Mr Wilfred Mukondiwa (Zimbabwe Cricket) human resources general manager. He has undertaken to discuss the issue with the relevant authorities. So at the moment were waiting for clarification on that issue. That was the principal issue behind those revised contracts."
