Abstract: This case study examines the International Cricket Council's (ICC) suspension of Zimbabwe Cricket in 2019 on the grounds of political interference in its administration. It unpacks the contradictions in the ICC's code of conduct, exploring its double standard regarding the explicit contract of participation in the game. It considers the ethical problems with ICC's ruling and the potential victimisation of Zimbabwe an example of inequity in the global body's organisational culture. The ICC's administration is based on a coherent set of ethical principles that should be uniform for every member, but which, on closer examination, often demonstrates norm-divergent behaviour.
