Yup good that they released the fixtures.
Should be a good series, I hope Zimbabwe will be able to take the fight to Pakistan. Ofcourse Pakistan are a good team, much better than the Afghans, so the challenge here is bigger. This series though should also prepare Zimbabwe for the Bangladesh and Ireland series' which are the more realistic ones for Zimbos to get some series wins.

I get the no spectators thing, unlucky Jaybro, but they are not televising the series?
ZC astound me. Complain of no money, then when they have a series against a team that could generate some decent money, they just don't make an effort to to broadcast it.

What makes you think they aren't broadcasting it?
All Test matches are required to be broadcast in some form

We will probably Win the Test Series since its not going to be televised and it will be like it never happened. With no video footage of the games to be televised. It will be like it never happened.

"The tour of our men's side at the back of our women's team first-ever visit of Zimbabwe is a testimony that the two boards - the PCB and Zimbabwe Cricket - enjoy excellent relations and are always ready to lend support to each other. Our cricket sides have always enjoyed visiting and playing cricket in Zimbabwe, and though our fans and followers will be unable to watch live-action, I am sure they will continue to support both the sides and their favourite cricketers like they have done since May 2020 through digital media."

The series between zim and pak will definitely broadcast, because zimbabwe twitter quoted that
IT'S HAPPENING | The countdown has begun! Don’t miss out when @ZimCricketv play @TheRealPCB in three T20Is and two Tests at Harare Sports Club!
Broadcast details will be announced soon ...

Isn’t broadcasting a requirement for test cricket? We are not that poor. Sometimes there will be a lot of politics happening in the background to secure those TV rights. There is money in that so somebody saying we don’t have a broadcaster will put ZC in a corner to pick one. There is a lot of underhand dealings in these international sports organizations. It’s big business

When was the last time Zimbabwe played an international match without it being at least streamed ? Maybe the tour of Scotland in 2017??

All matches between full members are required to be at least streamed (high quality stream not that pitchvision single camera stuff which is OK for domestic matches).
So I think there will atl east be a youtube or facebook stream here.

WC Qualifiers in 2018 would've been the last time.
I'm sure the streaming will be similar to the Sri Lanka test series last year. i thought that was okay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNw8JaWIbjU

So Zim want money desperately but not when it requires effort to make happen.
Should be a cheese spinner with the advertising potential.
