Zimbabwe's inclusion in South Africa's domestic competition has been thrown into doubt after the plans were postponed pending a Cricket South Africa (CSA) meeting on Friday.

Zimbabwe were set to play a full part in South Africa's domestic one-day and Twenty20 competitions while honouring one round of fixtures in the first-class SuperSport series, with their opening game schedule to be against the Highveld Lions on Sunday.

CSA said on Wednesday that the plan had been postponed until after Friday's board meeting.
