SCOTLAND will arrive in Zimbabwe on 13 April for a series of limited overs against Zimbabwe A and Zimbabwe Academy.
Zimbabwe has hosted Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Ireland and British club Durham in the last four months.
The matches have been good exposure to look coaches while cementing Zimbabwe and its climate as a good tourist destination.
“Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) is pleased to announce Scotland will visit Zimbabwe in April for limited-overs matches against Zimbabwe ‘A’ and the Zimbabwe Academy team. The Scots, expected to arrive in Harare on 13 April, will start their tour with a T20 double-header against the Zimbabwe Academy side at Takashinga Cricket Club on 19 April, followed by a one-off 50-over match between the two teams at the same venue on 22 April,” said Zimbabwe Cricket in a statement.
The visitors will then take on Zimbabwe A in three one-day matches at Harare Sports Club, scheduled for 24, 26 and 28 April.
ZC managing director Givemore Makoni described the tour as valuable as it provides opportunities for Zimbabwe’s emerging talent.
“This tour is crucial for our player development pathway, as it allows our up-and-coming cricketers to test themselves against a competitive international side.
“We are delighted to host Scotland and believe these matches will contribute significantly to the growth of our players,” Makoni said.
Scotland’s visit is beneficial to both countries who are trying to improve on depth as they try to rise within the rankings of international cricket.
