Bangladesh to visit in August

Zimbabwe Independent revealed that Bangladesh will be touring in August for 5 ODI's. All matches will be played at Bulawayo. Arguably this is a bad decision. Zimbabwe have, in the recent past, had a much better record in Harare. Against Bangladesh, it probably would have been better to keep the matches there, and play the tri-series matches in Bulawayo. Regardless, this is how it will be played.

The tri-series has been pushed back to September. India have confirmed they will come, according to Ozias Bvute. ZC are currently in negotiation with two other boards, in all likelihood South Africa and Kenya.
