Australia are scheduled to tour of Zimbabwe for a three-match ODI series later in 2026, Zimbabwe Cricket confirmed on Thursday. The series is set to be one of the most intriguing bilateral contests of the year as it carries significant weight in the lead-up to the 2027 ICC Cricket World Cup, which will be co-hosted in South Africa.

The ODI series in Zimbabwe will serve as a short but crucial stopover for Australia before their full-fledged tour of South Africa. The three ODIs will be played on September 15, 18 and 20 respectively. All matches will be played in Harare. This will mark Australia’s return to Zimbabwe in nearly eight years.

“We are delighted to welcome Australia back to Zimbabwe for what promises to be a highly competitive ODI series,” Zimbabwe Cricket Managing Director Givemore Makoni said.

“Fixtures of this calibre are vital for our growth as a team. With the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027 on the horizon, this tour provides invaluable preparation as we build towards hosting the tournament alongside South Africa and Namibia."

"It is also a fantastic opportunity for our fans to experience top-level international cricket at home, and we look forward to strong support at Harare Sports Club."
