The BCCI has officially announced the schedule for India’s senior men’s tour of Zimbabwe, confirming a three-match T20I series at the Harare Sports Club in July 2026.

The tour comes after India’s white-ball series in England and will mark the third time India has visited Zimbabwe in the last four years. India played three ODIs there in 2022 and five T20Is in 2024, winning that series 4-1. Among the big three of India, England and Australia, only India have consistently toured Zimbabwe in recent years.

The T20I series schedule between India and Zimbabwe in Harare

All three matches will be played at the Harare Sports Club, keeping things straightforward for both sides.

The series opens on Thursday July 23, the second T20I follows on Saturday July 25, and the third and final game takes place on Sunday July 26, a back-to-back finish that keeps the intensity high right through to the end.

It is a compact schedule that gives both teams enough cricket to make the tour meaningful. India won 4-1 on their last visit in 2024 and Zimbabwe under Sikandar Raza will be desperate to put up a far stronger showing this time around on home soil.

Zimbabwe to also tour India in January 2027

The announcement also confirmed that Zimbabwe will travel to India for a three-match ODI series in January 2027, with games scheduled across Kolkata, Hyderabad and Mumbai.

Playing at three of India’s most iconic venues will be a massive experience for the Sikandar Raza-led side, and every game will carry genuine significance given where both teams are in the ICC ODI rankings ahead of the 2027 World Cup qualification cut-off.

For Zimbabwe, who will co-host the 2027 World Cup alongside South Africa and Namibia, securing direct qualification on home soil is the dream and competitive series like this one are exactly what they need to build towards it.

A new era for Zimbabwe Cricket

For years Zimbabwe were the side that big nations visited occasionally and without much fanfare. That narrative is genuinely shifting now. India keep coming back, Australia are visiting in 2026, and England may be on their way for a historic one-off Test. The 2027 World Cup co-hosting role has put Zimbabwe back on the global cricket map and the volume of high-profile tours heading their way in the next eighteen months is a direct reflection of that. For Sikandar Raza and his teammates, the next two years represent the biggest opportunity Zimbabwean cricket has had in a generation.
