The Indian men’s cricket team will take on Zimbabwe in a five-match T20I series between July 6 and July 14. It will be the first time that India will play T20Is in Zimbabwe since 2016 when toured the African nation for a three-match series.

The series will start just a week after the 2024 T20 World Cup, slated to be hosted by West Indies and USA, comes to end end.

“The BCCI has always played a pioneering role in contributing to the global cricketing community. We understand that it is a period of rebuilding for Zimbabwe, and Zimbabwe Cricket needs our support at this juncture,” BCCI secretary Jay Shah said in a statement.

“Our steadfast commitment to touring and supporting fellow member boards aligns with our principle of bringing about a positive transformation within the cricketing landscape. The BCCI will do its best to make bilateral cricket stronger and commercially more viable. Our pledge to support Zimbabwe Cricket reflects a shared vision for the growth and prosperity of cricket on the international stage,” he added.

This is the fourth time that India are touring Zimbabwe for a T20I series after having visited in 2010, 2015 and 2016.

Zimbabwe Cricket Chairman Mr Tavengwa Mukuhlani said the country is looking forward to their ‘biggest international attraction’ at home this year.

“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,” Mukuhlani said.

“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,” he added.
