The UK Government's threat to ban Peter Chingoka from visiting the country could bite the ECB just as much as any ban against the Zimbabwe cricket team. According to CricInfo, the ICC are seriously considering moving a number of events away from England should Chingoka be banned, citing an unwillingness to carry on with any event where a Full Member representative cannot be present. Events under threat start with the ICC's annual meeting in June, but also include the organisation's centenary celebrations (scheduled for Lord's) and the 2009 World Twenty20, with South Africa already being mentioned as an alternative venue.
The UK have already refused a visa to Chingoka before, despite him not being on the European Union list of Zimbabweans banned from the EU, but have declined to say whether they would ban him again until such time as he applies for a new visa - which he'll have to do soon if he's to attend the June meeting.
