Zimbabwe’s tour of Sri Lanka will comprise of two white-ball series and begins early next year.
The Chevrons will arrive in Sri Lanka on 3 January with a three-game ODI series starting from January 6 and this will be followed by a three-game T20I series between January 14-18.
This will be their first bilateral visit to the island nation since 2022.
The Chevrons have shown good form against the Lions in recent years, including a stunning 3-2 ODI series win during their tour of Sri Lanka in 2017.
Sri Lanka will look to pick up the pieces after a disappointing ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 campaign, during which they failed to qualify for the knock-out stage and finished in the second-last place.
Zimbabwe, on the other hand, will be hoping to lift themselves after a string of disappointing results.
They failed to qualify for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 after being unable to secure a top-two finish in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Africa Region Qualifier.
This was followed by a 1-2 series loss to Ireland at home — ICC.
