Eng may lose ICC meet

David Morgan, the chairman of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), faces one of the most important meetings of his career next month, when he takes on the board chairmen of the other nine Testplaying countries in a summit in Auckland.
On the agenda will be England's probable postponement of their tour of Zimbabwe, and the possible repercussions of such a stance.
Morgan has defended himself against accusations he has broken a promise to tour Zimbabwe.
Morgan suggested at a meeting last year with Zimbabwe authorities that moral issues would be part of the decision.
"I said, 'Yes, we shall visit you, subject to their being no security and safety issues," Morgan claimed.
"What has occurred since March 29 is a further deterioration in the situation in Zimbabwe and the UK government taking a much firmer line."
After England's World Cup boycott, Morgan met his Zimbabwe counterparts to ensure their tour of England would go ahead the following May.
He told the Sunday Telegraph: "In the course of the meeting they ... gave a clear signal to me that having heard the reasons for the no-show in the World Cup they would tour in 2003.
"Later in the meeting they said, 'You're due to tour here in October 2004. Can you assure us that you're coming?"
He admitted he had effectively said political and moral consider-
ations would not enter into deliberations, but argued he was simply stating ECB policy.
The ECB have yet to cancel the tour and will now discuss it with representatives of the other nine Test nations at an International Cricket Council meeting in Auckland on May 9 and 10.
The ICC executive board could retaliate to a boycott by ordering
compensation for Zimbabwe and moving next September's lucrative ICC Champions Trophy away from England.
Fifteen matches are set to be staged at Edgbaston, Southampton and The Oval, which would generate around 3 million pounds in ticket sales forthe ECB.
In addition, the three-ODI NatWest Challenge against India would also be cancelled, and so more gate revenue and a lucrative deal with Indian television would also be lost.
Morgan told the newspaper the ECB is building a "contingency fund" of 3 million pounds to cover such possibilities.
According to the newspaper, England stand to lose as much as 10 million pounds if they continue to take a hard line against Zimbabwe.
Their decision has won plenty of support from the public and government at home, but has been viewed with a jaundiced eye abroad. When Des Wilson produced his 17-page document, it was praised in Britain for reintroducing the moral argument to sport, but elsewhere it has been seen as unnecessary moral posturing.
Morgan is still hopeful that the Champions Trophy will be not be relocated. He needs at least three of the 10 boards to stand by him, and India is the only viable alternative venue.
