'This is not how I wanted to go': Cricketer Sikandar Raza and others react to Zimbabwe's suspension by ICC

How one decision has made a team , strangers
How one decision has made so many people unemployed
How one decision effect so many families
How one decision has ended so many careers
Certainly not how I wanted to say goodbye to international cricket. @ICC pic.twitter.com/lEW02Qakwx

@ICC It's heartbreaking to hear your verdict and suspend cricket in Zimbabwe. The @ZimbabweSrc has no government back round yet our Chairman is an MP? Hundreds of honest people,players, support staff,ground staff totally devoted to ZC out of a job,just like that. 💔 — Brendan Taylor (@BrendanTaylor86) July 18, 2019

Have just seen the article re ZIM’s suspension from the ICC. Can not believe the stance they have taken to suspend Zim. Unbelievable that they condone having a corrupt board of the last 20 odd years continue running cricket here. It’s mind blowing. Thanks ICC.

It's the women who suffer FIRST and suffer the MOST. We are living this reality now. We just want to play the sport we love. In peace. For Zimbabwe. You see what the @ZimGemsOfficial are doing, making Zimbabwe smile, that's all we wanted to do too. pic.twitter.com/Yx9bt1bRMM

So in essence, if the @zimbabwesrc doesn't do something quick, the @zimcricketv women will lose another bunch of matches as they will not be able to play in the Global Qualifiers for the T20 World Cup next month. And noone is talking about them at all. @KirstyCoventry

Zimbabwe Cricket has been suspended by ICC for not providing a process for free & democratic elections & for not ensuring there is no Govt. interference in its governance & admin. ICC funding will be frozen & Zimbabwe will not be allowed to participate in any ICC events #Cricket

“The ICC has directed that the elected Zimbabwe Cricket Board be reinstated to office within three months & progress in this respect will be considered again at the October Board meeting” This is an appalling decision @ICC - you are letting those who have destroyed cricket back.

Incredibly disappointed with ICC's decision to suspend Zimbabwe. Particularly considering interim measures taken and that Zim are far from the only board in which political interference is commonplace. Losing test nations at a time where they should be growing the game...

Nepal are under ICC suspension at the moment and are being allowed to take part in ICC events, as were USA during their suspension. Should be the same for Zimbabwe if the ICC are consistent. Big if that though... https://t.co/WBTyZd9Bbl
