Confirmation in English media today that the Zimbabwe Test in May 2025 will be at Trent Bridge, not Lord's. Also the pavilion will be going 'under renovation at the time' and the 'players are likely to be required to change in temporary facilities'.
There is an added tour with Australia coming to Zimbabwe in 2026 for 3 ODIs. "Big 3" have now all come through with tours in this cycle.
Nothing has been deleted or changed so Afghanistan presumably will still be coming later this year. Surely this time they will come considering they don't have much cricket in their FTP for the next 12 months other than the Champions Trophy.

Thanks for this mate!
Yeah one more series added for Zimbabwe against Australia. That will be great.
Afghanistan have a terrible FTP. They are saved by qualifying for CT and Asia cup. Surely they shouldn't skip Zimbabwe this time as they literally have nothing else.
Great to see Bawa and Patel in there, very hopeful if they stick around. Naqvi is still there so they haven't given up on him. Hope Welch has a good series, they desperately need a good opener.

How is a Zimbabwe home series considered "to Pakistan"???

I don’t know. Is that not correct English? It’s used often, especially in e.g. football fixtures. ‘Who are you guys playing this weekend?’ ‘Oh we are at home to Arsenal’. I have been in grim England for three months, forgive me. This place is probably sending me insane.

It may be specific to football then. I don't think I've heard Brits use it that way, but I'm not as familiar with British English as someothers on this forum.
