Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) has announced an exciting home season schedule, with top teams South Africa and New Zealand set to tour for a multi-format series between June and August. This is a significant moment for Zimbabwean cricket, as the Proteas will play red-ball cricket in the country for the first time since 2014.
Zimbabwe will play two Test matches each against South Africa and New Zealand, along with a T20I tri-series featuring all three teams. The home season will begin with Zimbabwe taking on South Africa in the Test format. After the red-ball series, both teams will join New Zealand for the exciting T20I tri-series.
Zimbabwe Cricket Managing Director Givemore Makoni called the schedule the biggest international home season in years and added that it provides an opportunity for players to compete against top teams like South Africa and New Zealand.
“This is the biggest international home season we have had in years, and it is an incredible opportunity for our players to test themselves against two of the world’s cricketing powerhouses,” he said.
“Hosting South Africa and New Zealand for both Test cricket and an exciting T20I tri-series is a fantastic development for the growth of the game in Zimbabwe."
“We are looking forward to welcoming the teams and putting on a great spectacle for our passionate cricket fans.”
