The Black Caps' tour to Zimbabwe in June has been cancelled.

New Zealand Cricket says Zimbabwe is an unsuitable place to send the national team, citing the collapse of its health system and the general unstable environment. The tour may be rescheduled at a neutral venue, possibly in June next year.

Prime Minister John Key says the government did not interfere in the decision.
