UTSEYA ACCUSES CAMPBELL OF RACISM
HARARE: Zimbabwe off-spinner Prosper Utseya has claimed that he is a victim of racism and has levelled a string of allegations against former captain and ZC’s managing director Alistair Campbell. In a letter to Zimbabwe Cricket chairman, Wilson Manase, the 30-yearold spinner said Campbell has a “personal agenda against him which influenced his non-selection (in the playing XI) at the recent World Cup”. According to a report in ‘ESPNcricinfo. com’, Utseya alleged that Campbell “appointed white coaches and administrators during his 2010-2012 stint as chairman of the cricket committee in order to take control of cricket”. “(Campbell) had a conflict of interest in setting up Dominus Sport, the company that ran ZC’s marketing affairs during his time as cricket committee chairman, and his actions had an impact on ZC’s funds,” Utseya said in the letter. Utseya confirmed that he had written the letter after the World Cup and prior to Zimbabwe’s tour of Pakistan. Campbell said he was unable to comment as the matter was pending legal disciplinary action.
