None of the 15 white rebel Zimbabwe players were named in a A side to play a two-day match against Australia starting on Monday in a sign that a resolution to the crisis is no closer. The rebels declared they were unavailable for selection last month in a dispute with the Zimbabwe Cricket Union ZCU over the end of Heath Streak8217;s tenure as captain, the composition of the selection panel and the alleged poor conduct of ZCU officials. The board fired the players on Monday after the players had accepted in principle to the board8217;s offer of mediation.
