Zimbabwe Confirms Bangladesh Tour With One Test, Three ODIs and Three T20Is

A homecoming boosting Zimbabwe's profile after the T20 World Cup, giving Bangladesh white-ball exposure to African pitches ahead of the 2027 World Cup.

Overview

  • Zimbabwe Cricket announced the full tour schedule on Friday, confirming a one-off Test at Harare Sports Club from June 28 to July 2 followed by three ODIs in Harare on July 6, 9 and 11 and three T20Is at Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo on July 15, 17 and 19.
  • ZC managing director Givemore Makoni said the series marks the return of top-level international cricket to Zimbabwe and expects the contest to be competitive across formats.
  • The white-ball matches are being framed by outlets as useful preparation for Bangladesh ahead of the ICC World Cup 2027 because they provide experience of African pitch conditions.
  • Commercial details such as ticketing and broadcast arrangements have not been released and Zimbabwe Cricket said those will be announced in a later update.
  • The announcement follows Zimbabwe's run to the Super Eights at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup and recalls recent head-to-heads with Bangladesh, including Zimbabwe's 2022 white-ball series wins and a 1-1 Test series that featured Zimbabwe's first Test win in four years.
