Zimbabwe to host Australia and Pakistan for T20 tri-series

Zimbabwe will host Australia and Pakistan for a T20 tri-series starting this July.

The hosts opted not to play any Tests against the two heavyweights sides, even though Aussies were scheduled to play one Test, while Pakistan were supposed to face Zimbabwe in a two-Test series.

Zimbabwe will be hosting the series after failing to qualify for the 2019 World Cup.

“Playing two of the game’s biggest teams will provide us with a very welcome litmus test as we forge ahead with our plans to develop a stronger Zimbabwe side capable of consistently competing and winning against the best,” Zimbabwe Cricket’s managing director Faisal Hasnain was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.
