Harare (Zimbabwe):
Zimbabwe Cricket managing director Ozias Bvute has dismissed as "totally untrue" claims that he and chairman Peter Chingoka have been in hiding.
Former Zimbabwe captain Tatenda Taibu, who resigned last week, said on Test Match Special he had been told the duo had "run away" to escape a police raid.
"There is no truth to that," Bvute told the BBC's World Service. Bvute said factions opposed to Chingoka had "found it convenient to tell these malicious stories to discredit us." He added: "I was fast asleep at 4am and left my house at eight this morning to go to work. I have not been raided and I don't believe anyone has raided Mr Chingoka's house either."
Taibu called for the removal of the pair when he quit his position last week in protest at the state of the game in Zimbabwe.
