Afghanistan do it. Pakistan do it.
If the problem with staging a tour lies in prohibitive TV production costs from SA, and we've all heard the rumours of mysteriously high accomodation costs, transport costs, etc... why not play home games in India for example?
Cheap accomodation, TV production crews already in place, etc.

Yeah sure, when Ervine is screaming ‘Allah Akbar’ and Chatara is lamenting US Involvement in Syria and Hamilton is filmed beheading Tiripano’s wife then sure, we can hold home games in Botswana, India and South Africa where there is a massive demand for Zimbabwean home games.

Doesn't Pakistan lose a fortune by hosting in UAE? There are so many other costs involved other than TV production.

AFG and PAK do it for security reasons primarily. I am not sure how PAK has been able to maintain such expensive home venues for so long. Either its not that expensive, or PAK makes enough money from other sources to easily cover it.
What reason would ZIM have of having games in a 3rd country? Home games won't be any more viable in some other land.

Zimbabwe would benefit if they play in South Africa with touring teams visiting South Africa...
Teams like England, India & Australia can use Zimbabwe as a practicing games as they set for South Africa and they can have broadcast live the games...More game time for the guys..
