The controversial acting chief executive of Zimbabwe Cricket, Ozias Bvute, has been given the job permanently, it has been announced. Bvute replaces Vincent Hogg, who quit after finding his job untenable in the middle of a long and hostile dispute with 15 sacked white players.
His appointment follows two failed attempts by ZC to find a fresh face at the helm through advertising campaigns.
Bvute had headed up the much-maligned integration committee.
That committee came under fire from several quarters, as it was accused of unfairly advancing the claims of young black cricketers to the detriment of established white players.
