Zimbabwe are gearing up for an exciting and action-packed summer of cricket as they prepare to host two top-tier international teams—South Africa and New Zealand—for a mix of Test matches and T20I fixtures. Zimbabwe are set to play Test cricket against South Africa for the first time since December 2017 and they are hosting them for the first time after August 2014.
Against New Zealand, they would play since August 2016. The series will begin with the Test series against South Africa, set to be played in Bulawayo from June 28 and July 6. The Test will be followed by the T20I tri-series, which will be held from July 14 to July 24.
All three teams play each other twice during the league stage, and the top-two teams will take on each other in the final on July 26. All T20I matches will be held in Harare. Following the T20I trio-series, Zimbabwe will play New Zealand in Tests. The first Test will be played from July 30 to August 3, while second and final Test will be played from August 7 to August 11. Both Tests will be held in Bulawayo.
