India will tour Zimbabwe in July for three ODIs and two Twenty20 Internationals. According to Alistair Campbell, Zimbabwe Cricket's managing director, India will reach the African nation on July 7 and leave on July 20.
Two-time World Champions India had last toured Zimbabwe in 2013 and blanked the hosts 5-0 in the ODI series. It remains to be seen whether the BCCI will send a full-strength squad this time. The squad that toured two years back was captained by Virat Kohli and some key players, including skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni were rested. The Indians are currently in Bangladesh for a one-off Test which is currently being played in Fatullah. That will be followed by three ODIs.
While the itinerary has not yet been announced, Campbell confirmed the tour in a tweet. "I can confirm that it's now a done deal. India are arriving on July 7 & will leave on the 20th,3 ODIs & 2 T20s."
"We are very pleased that @BCCI are coming & the fact that the @BLACKCAPS are coming just a week after India's departure"AC
