Zimbabwe to host SL for two Tests

Zimbabwe have announced a hastily arranged tour by Sri Lanka for two Test matches to be played in Harare this month as coach Lalchand Rajput says they are ready for a “new beginning”.

The first game at the Harare Sports Club will be played from Jan. 19-23 and the second from Jan. 27-31, and represents a return to Test cricket for Zimbabwe for the first time since their tour of Bangladesh in November 2018.

Zimbabwe are not part of the on-going ICC Test Championship and so no points will be up for grabs in the series.

Zimbabwe have confirmed that all-rounder Sean Williams will be their new Test captain following the retirement of Hamilton Masakadza, who has since moved into the role of director of cricket.
