Summary NZ Cricket has condemned a report prepared by a group of former Test players.
WELLINGTON (AP) - New Zealand Cricket has condemned as "hearsay, speculation and rumor" a report prepared by a group of former test players that criticizes its handling of the sacking of former test captain Ross Taylor.
The nine-page report, prepared by a group convened by former New Zealand captain John Parker, attacks the governance of New Zealand Cricket and the role in Taylor s sacking played by coach Mike Hesson, new captain Brendon McCullum and senior players.
Apart from Parker, those involved in preparing the report have refused to be named but are understood to include other former New Zealand captains. New Zealand Cricket said Thursday it was "disappointed and saddened" that "some unnamed individuals" publicly have questioned the integrity of leading figures in the sport.
