Given that the postponement of the Zimbabwe tour to Sri Lanka comes so soon after the postponement of the incoming tour by New Zealand in July to June next year, there are fears that Zimbabwe may be starved of international action. However, ZC spokesman Lovemore Banda said there is no need for the concern as they have a replacement fixture.

“During the period we were supposed to hosts the Black Caps, we will now have a triangular series involving India and one other side which we will announce once we have finalised discussions,” he revealed. “After that tri-nation tournament, it will be August and time to host Bangladesh and then tour Sri Lanka or, depending on how the time-frames will be like then, tour Sri Lanka and then return to host the Tigers,” Banda pointed out.

Banda's wording seems to rule out Bangladesh for the 3rd slot. I'd bet on an Associate side, personally, as ZC will want to make sure they reach the final, but we'll see.
