"We are absolutely thrilled to be hosting India for a T20I series in July in what will be our biggest international attraction at home this year," Zimbabwe Cricket Chairman Tavengwa Mukuhlani said. "The significance and magnitude of this tour cannot be over-emphasised, especially as it's coming at a time we are working round the clock to re-establish ourselves as a force to reckon with."
India's last T20I tour to Zimbabwe
As mentioned, India last toured Zimbabwe for a bilateral T20I series in 2016. The Men in Blue won the three-match series 2-1, under the leadership of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Their previous tours to Zimbabwe came in 2015 (1-1) and 2010 (2-0). Notably, India's last white-ball tour to Zimbabwe was in August 2022, when they won the three-ODI series 3-0.
