India Tour Of Zimbabwe 2024 Schedule Announced; T20Is To Commence On July 6

Soon after the conclusion of the T20 World Cup 2024 in June, Zimbabwe will host India for a five-match T20I series from July 6. All the matches will be played at the Harare Sports Club in Harare and the final match of the series will be played on July 14. Zimbabwe Cricket announced this development by releasing a press release and has also released the schedule of the series.

Before this, India last toured Zimbabwe in 2022 and played a three-match ODI series. India were able to whitewash the hosts by 3-0. The series will also be very interesting to see as this will be the first time in many years that the Men in Blue will tour Zimbabwe for a T20I series.

Zimbabwe to hosts India for a five-match T20I series, Full Schedule Announced

Here Is The Full Schedule:

Zimbabwe Cricket made the confirmation of the schedule of the series after having productive discussions with the Board of Control for Cricket in India. Zimbabwe Cricket chairman Tavengwa Mukuhlani was thrilled to announce the schedule of the series. Mauhlani mentioned that hosting India will be Zimbabwe’s biggest international attraction at home this year. He added that the game of cricket has always benefitted from India’s dedication and influence to the sport. He also thanked BCCI for committing to tour Zimbabwe once again.

He said, “We are absolutely thrilled to be hosting India for a T20I series in July in what will be our biggest international attraction at home this year. The game of cricket has always immensely benefited from India’s influence and dedication to the sport, and I would like to say a huge thank you to the BCCI for committing to tour Zimbabwe once again. The significance and magnitude of this tour cannot be over-emphasised, especially as it is coming at a time we are working round the clock to re-establish ourselves as a force to reckon with at the highest level of the game.”

India and Zimbabwe last played a T20I series against each other back in the year 2016. The series was a thriller as the three-match series was level at 1-1, and India had to come into the last match and win the series. Zimbabwe showed brilliant competition in all three games of the series as they registered 2 runs in the first game and also their deficit of losing the third match was only three runs. Other than 2016, India have also played 2 match T20I series against Zimbabwe back in 2015 which was levelled at 1-1.

It will be great to seen that whether big Indian names such as Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, KL Rahul and Jasprit Bumrah become a part of the series or not. The final of the T20 World Cup will be played on June 29 2024, so it is going to be a busy schedule all together for the Indian cricket team if they reach the final of the T20 WC.
