Harare: Australia will tour Zimbabwe for the first time since 2014 in July, with the dates for the T20I tri-series confirmed today.
The Australians will take on the hosts and Pakistan in the 20-over format, their first-ever T20I matches in Zimbabwe, with Pakistan then staying on for a five-match ODI series.
The triangular series will be played at Harare Sports Club in the capital, while Bulawayo’s Queens Sports Club will host the ODI series.
Australia's time in Harare will be preceded by a five-match ODI series and one-off T20I against England in the UK from June 13-28.
T20 tri-series at Harare:
That tour will see a new-look Australia team unveiled, with a new coach, captain and vice-captain taking charge after the ball-tampering controversy in South Africa led to the suspensions of Steve Smith and David Warner, and ultimately the resignation of then coach Darren Lehmann.
Pakistan will then stay on for bilateral ODI-leg of five matches to be staged at Bulawayo's Queens Sports Club from July 13.
Meanwhile, Pakistan visited Zimbabwe for a 2-match T20I and 3-match ODI series in 2015 and triumphed 2-0 in both formats.
