Maybe another Test match for Zimbabwe happening very soon.

EDIT: not happening.

How come nobody is talking about Aus coming to Zim for 3 ODIs in 2026?

Australia coming is not really new news. It's been in the FTP for quite a while https://images.icc-cricket.com/image/up ... iizi4g.pdf

Not sure why Australia doesn't want to add a Test to the tour. Would make sense prior to them going to South Africa for a big Test series.

In August 2026, Namibia will host Zimbabwe and South Africa for a Tri-Series.

Zimbabwe really need plenty of ODIs before the World Cup. Maybe they could arrange some ODIs with Afghanistan? ODIs are important for both teams, rather than T20Is. Hopefully, Zimbabwe get more and more A games in their schedule as well; I’ve heard there are more A games coming up? Zimbabwe is also trying to negotiate a series against England at the new stadium? If we had more games in Zimbabwe during the ODI World Cup period, more countries would be keen on having games there before the main event. Who knows its still a win win situation if the opposition doesn't much of game time in South Africa (or even Namibia). Zimbabwean condition would be good option regardless.
The T20I World Cup is close and Zimbabwe unfortunately didn't get games in the subcontitent yet...

I think one tour every couple of months is reasonable to be honest. Far better than the 2010s when we played about 12 games a year.

[sam_ahm]

They might add a few games during the year.

We should aim to for an undefeated test season.
