The International Cricket Council (ICC) has suspended Zimbabwe team for failing to ensure there is no government interference in its running of the sport.
ICC funding has been withdrawn and the country will not be participating at ICC events.
Zimbabwe are due to take part in a T20 World Cup qualifier in October.
The ICC issued the punishment after the entire Zimbabwe Cricket Board was suspended by the government sports and recreation commission last month.
