Both series are 2 tests. So 6 Tests coming up in the next few months on top of the 3 played already this year. Against a varied mix of opps too. Low tier, mid tier, and top tier opponents.
7!
You forgot the England one.

What's with all the tests being played in Bulawayo only? Scheduling seems rather erratic and silly.

Ya, why are they all in bulawayo? Differing venues and conditions would be more beneficial.
Can something so consistent be erratic at the same time though lol?

I keep seeing they are playing 11 tests this calendar year. Mentioned on bbc and cricinfo.
Who are the other two against.
I have
Afg (1)
Ire (1)
Eng (1)
Ban (2)
NZ (2)
SA (2)
Does anyone know who the others are? Would love two tests vs WI. Very good series that would be. Sorry if I have missed something!

It's erroneous and very annoying. It seems even the most major of news outlets no longer have proper journalists or fact checkers.
Original FTP - 11:
2 Vs Ireland
2 Vs Bangladesh
1 Vs England
2 Vs SA
2 Vs NZ
2 Vs Afghanistan
However as we know, we only played 1 vs Ireland. So the amount is actually 10.
I hear the series with Afghanistan in December 2025 is likely to be reduced to a single Test too, so the number will actually be 9.

That Afghan test we played back in January would make it 11. As of now.

Had that in my head as being end of 2024, but you're right it was early Jan. Fair enough!
