The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Wednesday announced the schedule of the senior men`s away T20I series in July.
Team India is all set to lock horns with Zimbabwe for three T20I matches at the Harare Sports Club in Harare, Zimbabwe.
The last time the “Men in Blue” travelled to Zimbabwe was in 2024, where they played five T20I matches.
The first match will be played on July 23, followed by the second and third T20I matches on July 25 and 26, respectively.
The BCCI also stated that Zimbabwe will be touring India for three ODI matches in January 2027. However, the dates are yet to be announced by the boards, but the venues for the three-match ODI series will be Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Mumbai, respectively.
The most recent clash between the two teams was played during the concluded T20 World Cup 2026. The “Men in Blue” defeated Zimbabwe by 72 runs in Chennai after setting up a total of 256 runs for the loss of four wickets.
“Matches against India always generate enormous interest, and this is a fantastic opportunity for our players to test themselves against the world champions on home soil,” said Givemore Makoni, as quoted by ESPNcricinfo, who is the managing director of Zimbabwe Cricket.
“It is a landmark moment for Zimbabwe to be touring India again for a bilateral ODI series after more than two decades. India is one of the premier destinations in world cricket, and this tour represents both an honour and a valuable opportunity for our players. We are looking forward to competitive and high-quality cricket, and we believe this engagement will further strengthen the relationship between the two cricketing nations while providing invaluable exposure for our team,” he added.
Currently, several players are busy featuring in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Yesterday, the Gujarat Titans (GT) suffered a loss against the Punjab Kings (PBKS) by three wickets at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in New Chandigarh.
The upcoming clash is set to be played between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium B Ground in Lucknow.
