Former coach Phil Simmons has painted a gloomy picture of cricket in Zimbabwe, and believes it would be nothing short of international scandal if they are allowed to regain Test status next year.
Simmons, the former West Indies all-rounder, asserts the massive player exodus has seriously affected the Zimbabweans, and Terrence Duffin's side would face disastrous results if they are returned to the fold of Test playing nations next year.
Zimbabwe's problems can be traced back to the 2003 ICC World Cup, they jointly hosted with South Africa and Kenya.
The mass exodus began when Olonga, Flower, his brother Grant, and players like Heath Streak, Sean Ervine and some 15 others walked away from the game, citing racism among administrators.
