Zimbabwe To Be Host Tri-Series in July

Bulawayo: South Africa have been confirmed as the third side, along with India, in the triangular one-day series to be staged in Zimbabwe in July.

Zimbabwe had been faced with a barren schedule after Sri Lanka cancelled their series this month and then New Zealand's tour, pencilled in for July, was postponed for a year by mutual agreement.

There was good news for Zimbabwe, which has not staged any major cricket since December 2007, with comments from the Zimbabwe board that it hoped to stage some of the games in the tournament there.
