The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has confirmed that India will tour Zimbabwe for a three-match T20I series from July 23 to July 26, 2026. This tour is significant as it marks India's first visit to Zimbabwe since 2024, when they played five matches. The series will take place in Harare, with matches scheduled on July 23, 25, and 26. Following their white-ball series against England, which concludes on July 19, India will look to test new combinations, particularly with young players from the Indian Premier League (IPL) expected to receive call-ups. Senior players such as Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya are likely to be rested to manage their fitness ahead of the 2027 ODI World Cup. Meanwhile, Zimbabwe's recent performance in the 2024 T20 World Cup showcased their competitiveness, as they reached the Super 8 stage, including notable victories over Australia and Sri Lanka. This tour will be an opportunity for Zimbabwe to capitalize on home advantage against a strong Indian side. Additionally, Zimbabwe is set to visit India for a three-match ODI series in January 2027, with matches planned in Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Mumbai.
