New Zealand skipper Stephen Fleming is prepared to boycott the tour of Zimbabwe this year if he feels it will make a difference.
Fleming admitted that a tough three months were in store for his players as the decision on whether to tour Zimbabwe in August despite its immoral Governmentlooms.
He said the decision would not be a hasty one.
"If the information that I read suggests it's probably not wise to go and that will make a difference, then that's something I'll consider," Fleming said.
"Like the other players I'll be reading a lot, watching the situation closely and trying to educate myself on what impact the tour will have.
"The players will take a lot of care over the decision."
New Zealand Cricket chief executive Martin Snedden recently said no players would be penalised if they individually decided not to tour as a protest against President Robert Mugabe's regime.
Greens co-leader Rod Donald this week wrote to 25 New Zealand players urging them to boycott the five-week tour on moral grounds.
Fleming said he received his letter on Wednesday, but had not yet opened it. There had not yet been any team discussion.
