Mumbai: Zimbabwe will be hosting the visiting team UAE in Zimbabwe for their tour as from April 10 to April 16 as a tour to the Netherlands for limited-overs series.
Zimbabwe will be playing four ODIs with the visiting team UAE in April.

The series between UAE and Zimbabwe will replace the five-match ODI series between the hosts and Afghanistan which was called off due to broadcasting issues, the International Cricket Council (ICC) reported.
However, the Zimbabwe Cricket Board (ZCB) had last week confirmed that Afghanistan had decided to pull out of next month’s proposed tour over broadcasting issues.
Following the UAE series, Zimbabwe will travel all the way to the Netherlands to play two ODIs on June 19 and 21, respectively before the two sides will head into the two-match T20 International series from June 23.
