Upcoming Fixtures

Post by aydee »

After the end of the Faithwear Cup (middle of June??...), do any Zim sides have any fixtures at all for the few months after that?

If there are any, ZC haven't announced them. Next cricket I have on the schedule is the trip to Sri Lanka in November - that's on the FTP, but it's too soon yet for any itinerary.

Damn, so that looks like 4 months without anyone getting any decent cricket...

Just confirmed by Cricket Kenya: Zim to tour in Sept/Oct 2008 for at least 3 ODIs and 2 4-day matches. They're hoping to secure a 3rd side to make the ODI games a tri-series, so there's no itinerary yet.

I just read on Cricinfo that Zim were looking to possibly tour Kenya in July...

The Sept/Oct dates were confirmed by a Cricket Kenya spokesman to the Zimbabwe Independent - I'd take that over the speculation of a Cricinfo staff writer... Reading between the lines, it seems ZC wanted the earlier dates but couldn't get CK to agree them.

that tour to Kenya in September/October is a ODI Tri Series between the teams Zimbabwe, Kenya and Ireland. Originally it was going to be a Kenya VS Ireland 5 match ODI Series but Cricket Kenya asked Zimbabwe to join to make it a ODI Tri Series. Some proof of this is...

http://www.cricketeurope4.net/CRICKETEU ... bout.shtml (2nd bottom)
http://www.cricketeurope4.net/DATABASE/ ... 6060.shtml (2nd bottom)
http://icc-cricket.yahoo.com/icc-events ... d-cup.html (got to the 2nd toolbar and on the far right click associate schedule- it will load into a pdf document.Scroll down to the 3rd page, in October)

Bangladesh were asked but they I'm not sure what they're stance on it is.

Also on the 2nd link it also mentions Kenya playing Zimbabwe in March- that's obviously changed to July. It says something about Pakistan A travelling to Zimbabwe. Does anyone know anything about that?

By the way that 2nd link was written in December 2007, so a few things might've changed.

Quite surprising, considering CK were calling for Zim's suspension just last week...
Any dates yet? CK's website has been dead for a while now and Cricket Europe don't seem to have the details yet...
