Zimbabwe Metro has a quote from UK Sports Minister Hugh Robertson, which is quite clear about his line on cricketing contact with Zimbabwe:

"The problem is simple. Zimbabwe Cricket is headed by a man who sits on the EU banned list and he sits on that list for good reasons. As long as he is in charge of Zimbabwe cricket it is extremely difficult for them to be fully integrated into the global cricketing community. Officially government advice remains we discourage teams from playing. England will be discouraged from travelling over there and it is difficult for them to come here while their chairman remains on the banned list. It is very difficult to welcome a team here if the chairman cannot get a visa to enter this country."

As far as I'm aware, none of Zimbabwe's players are on the EU banned list, so I'm not seeing the problem here - Chingoka can just stay at home. I note, though, that the phrase used is "discouraged" and not "barred".

It's also worth noting that, as far as Scotland are concerned, responsibility for sport belongs to the Scottish Government in Edinburgh, and there's been no comment from them so far on their attitude to Scotland touring Zimbabwe.
