New Delhi: Zimbabwe will host Bangladesh for a multi-format bilateral series in June and July, Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) said on Friday. The tour will comprise one Test, three ODIs and as many T20I matches. The tour will begin with a five-day Test at Harare Sports Club from June 28 to July 2, followed by ODIs at the same venue on July 6, 9 and 11, respectively. The teams will then move to Bulawayo, where Queens Sports Club will stage the T20I series on July 15, 17 and 19, respectively.

The series against Bangladesh will be Zimbabwe’s first home assignment of the year and their first international cricket since their historic run to the Super Eight stage at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka in February and March this year, after beating Australia and Sri Lanka in the group stage.

Zimbabwe last hosted Bangladesh in 2022, winning both the ODI and T20I series 2-1. The sides also met in a two-Test series in Bangladesh last year, which ended 1-1 after Zimbabwe secured a three-wicket victory in the opening match – their first Test win in four years. ZC added that the ticketing and broadcast details will be announced later. IANS
