Much better than usual. We still need more. NZ are on the FTP as well so I'm sure they will pop up somewhere. There is supposed to be an end of the year tour to Bangladesh as well. Let's fit the Irish in as well.

Then next 18 months are going to be a real good measure of where we are. I think we will most probably play everybody besides England and India.

The Aussie games were supposed to be away but I guess ZC has seen a chance to make some loot. That and the Qualifiers might see them actually making a profit for once.

Tour Of New Zealand might be there in November.
Irish might tour to Zimbabwe for a full series, with test matches at the end of the year as Bangladesh has a fixture against the Aussies in 2018

Before 2019, 8 test matches have been fixed for Zimbabwe.
If they manage to win atleast 2 and draw a few, chance of Zimbabwe in ICC Test Championship 2019 might be on.

Fixtures are proving that ICC wants weak teams to be competative enough in shorter formats before 2019 odi league starts with 13 teams.

The Robot - where did you find this fixture list?

I don't really care where Zim play Australia (I'd prefer it here), but a Test match would be terrific. I wouldn't call it a foregone conclusion if it was played at HSC... Australia are unbelievably hopeless right now and have no on field leadership. The Aussie pace attack can never get on to the park so you'd be guaranteed to have a few Shield toilers make the tour (the return of Jackson Bird?), and unless Smith can stop sulking for long enough to make a hundred we can't put together a decent total.

Zim could definitely take it deep into day 5 and who knows what would happen.

It's in the Tristan Holme master-spin article

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=14186
The two Tests against the West Indies will be followed by the four-day day/night encounter with South Africa on Boxing Day. In January, Zimbabwe will take part in a tri-series in Bangladesh, and in February they will be Afghanistan's first Test opponents, with details of the match in the UAE expected to be confirmed shortly.

The World Cup qualifiers in March will be followed by a short gap, before Pakistan and Australia arrive for a triangular one-day series in June. Pakistan will stay on for a full tour thereafter, before Zimbabwe travel to South Africa in October for a Test and some ODIs.
