However, the tournament received considerable negative publicity due to very poor organization: firstly, no fixture list was published,http://www.espncricinfo.com/zimbabwe/content/story/290004.html A mixture of chaos and farce Price Steven ESPNcricinfo 2007-04-11 2011-01-26 and, later scorecards and statistics were unavailable,http://www.espncricinfo.com/zimbabwe/content/story/302908.html Zimbabwe face first-class boycott by statisticians Cricinfo staff ESPNcricinfo 2007-07-20 2011-01-26 prompting concern that the matches could lose their first-class status since the International Cricket Council (ICC) had not been given the appropriate information. It was suggested by Steven Price, writing for Cricinfo, that the tournament was nothing more than an exercise in "ticking the boxes" for Zimbabwe Cricket.http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/295631.html Ticking the boxes Price Steven ESPNcricinfo 2007-05-24 2011-01-26 Given the competition was played almost entirely out of the public eye, with no advertising and very little support, Price put forward the view that the competition was played primarily to meet the ICC's criteria for Zimbabwe's return to Test cricket; specifically, "that they had a fully functioning domestic programme". By contrast, Cricket Kenya, who had entered a representative side into the competition, provided the majority of information to the statisticians and general public on an almost daily basis.
