Zimbabwe step up preparations to host India
Zimbabwe will step up their preparation for the incoming limited-overs tour by India by playing three practice games at the Harare Sports Club.

Zimbabwe will host India from the 8th to the 23rd of June, for a tour that will consist of three ODIs and three Twenty20 International matches.
The first ODI match is on the 11th, the second on the 13th and the third on the 15th. The Twenty20 International matches are on the 18th, 20th and 22nd.
