India will tour Zimbabwe for a three-match ODI series from August 18. The ODI series will be a part of the ICC One-Day Super League. Zimbabwe will be eager to put their best foot forward in the series as it will help them accumulate crucial points for the ODI World Cup qualification which will take place next year.
India, however, could use the series to learn better about their best playing XI as they have already qualified for the World Cup next year. However, their ODI series against England and the West Indies in August, will not be a part of the ICC One-Day Super League.
The India tour of Zimbabwe 2022 will be for the first-time in six years. They had last visited the nation in 2016 under the captaincy of MS Dhoni to play three ODIs and as many T20Is. There will be no T20I matches in their upcoming tour to Zimbabwe with the Asia Cup in focus.
