Proteas to face Zimbabwe in ODI matches

The Proteas will play a two-match ODI series against Zimbabwe in early November, ahead of the Test and ODI tour by England.

This was announced on Tuesday by Cricket South Africa (CSA) CEO Gerald Majola. It will be Zimbabwe’s first international visit to South Africa since 2005.

“I am delighted to announce the return of Zimbabwe to South Africa,” commented Majola.

“Part of our commitment to the ICC is to promote and advance cricket throughout the African continent.

“Zimbabwe have a much stronger side than the last one to visit us. This was born out by their recent 4-1 victory over Kenya and the Proteas can expect some tough opposition.”—Sapa
