South Africa will tour Zimbabwe for a two-Test series in June and July 2025.
Both Tests will be played in Bulawayo, after South Africa’s World Test Championship final against Australia at Lord’s in London, England.
This will be the first time the Proteas and Zimbabwe will meet in Test cricket since 2017.
Batsmen Aiden Markram and Temba Bavuma, spinner Keshav Maharaj and fast bowler Kagiso Rabada played in that fixture eight years ago, when South Africa won inside two days at St George’s Park in Port Elizabeth.
South Africa will also participate in an T20I tri-series against Zimbabwe and New Zealand in Harare.
“This is the biggest international home season we have had in years, and it is an incredible opportunity for our players to test themselves against two of the world’s cricketing powerhouses,” said Zimbabwe Cricket managing director Givemore Makoni.
“Hosting South Africa and New Zealand for both Test cricket and an exciting T20I tri-series is a fantastic development for the growth of the game in Zimbabwe. We are looking forward to welcoming the teams and putting on a great spectacle for our passionate cricket fans.”
