Zimbabwe cricket selector
Andy Pycroft resigned on Tuesday ahead of their match against Kenya.
Olonga was dropped after the first game
"I wasn't even consulted or contacted prior to the New Zealand
match," said Pycroft.
"The only explanation I was given was that the other selectors
could not contact me.
"That's ridiculous - everybody knows where I am.
"I'm not staying in the same hotel as the other selector here but I'm
only 100 yards away."
Pycroft said that the team selected by himself, fellow selector Stephen Mangongo, coach Geoff Marsh and captain
Heath Streak was rejected by the four other members of
the panel back in Zimbabwe.
It wasn't about colour in the
side, as far as I was concerned
"The side was
basically being picked from 3,000km away. If that's the case, then
what's the point of continuing," said Pycroft.
Zimbabwe's campaign has been dogged with controversy, with England refusing to play against them because of security fears.
Andy Flower and Henry Olonga wore black armbands in their first match to protest against what they called the "death of democracy" in the country.
Olonga was then not selected for the next five matches, before returning for the Super Six match against Kenya on Wednesday.
"When we sat down to pick the side for the match against
Kenya, it became clear that there was already a team and it
was non-negotiable," said Pycroft.
But he maintained that it had nothing to do with quotas: "It wasn't about colour in the
side, as far as I was concerned."
