A letter giving him three months notice was delivered to his home. Calling it "a disgrace" Meman went immediately to his lawyer to discuss his termination of service.

He has worked for Zimbabwe Cricket and previously the Zimbabwe Cricket Union for a total of more than 20 years and was previously a selector.

Also sacked Tuesday was former international spin bowler and long time selector Richie Kaschula, who has been employed for several years by ZC as one of its three national selectors. The other two, Ethan Dube and Macsood Ebrahim, were volunteers, but have stood down.
