This seems like the worst possible outcome. The players are punished by not getting to play at a good level of cricket, and the corrupt ZCU officials still get to siphon off the ICC funding, including the tournament fee.
Grrrr.
It appears you are wrong, and that no less a luminary than Giles Clarke has stated it's a "win-win" situation.
As much as it leaves a bad taste in the mouth, I csn't really say I'm that surprised that this, or something like it, has been the outcome of this; it's difficult to think of any other scenario that wouldn't hve introduced an immediate, and deep schism in World cricket.
