Future tour rumours

Guys, the tri series in Singapore doesn't have international status? Or does it?

I can't see those fixtures on ICC's main website neither on cricinfo under international fixtures. However, cricbuzz has listed them under international schedule.

In 2021, I just don't see BD winning a Test series in ZIM against:

Kamunhukamwe, Burl, Kaia, Musakanda(c), Kasuza, Murray(wk), Jongwe, Mashinge, Ngarava, Mumba, Muzarabani(he'll be back). Moor and Chari won't have declined much. And if a Mahmadullah is still around, so will Chakabva. ZIM won't give BD spinners any helpful pitches.

We will see. If Tamim Iqbal has the kind of form he had in NZ earlier this year, he'll score more runs than that lineup you posted by himself. Mushfiq is fit enough to bat till age 40. Mosaddek is shaping up to be a very strong batter, and by 2021 he will likely be batting at #5 or #6. Abu Jayed can swing the ball around corners, Ebadat can hurry the batsmen with pace, and Nayeem Hasan will be able to generate bounce and turn from most tracks.

2013 was ages ago. 2019 Tamim form in NZ was blistering. I can't see BD losing to your squad - and BD can lose to almost anyone. But guys with Logan Cup averages of 25 or 30 just cant match up.

The 2019–20 Singapore Tri-Nation Series is a cricket tournament scheduled to be held from 27 September to 3 October 2019 in Singapore.[1] It will be a tri-nation series featuring Singapore, Nepal and Zimbabwe, with all the matches played as Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is).[2] Singapore will be using the series as preparation for their first appearance in the ICC T20 World Cup Qualifier in October 2019.[2] Prior to the series, Zimbabwe also played in another tri-series, in Bangladesh.[3] Zimbabwe Cricket named Sean Williams as Zimbabwe's captain[4], after Hamilton Masakadza announced that he would retire from international cricket following the conclusion of the tri-series in Bangladesh.[5]

ZIM can't afford to lose. :D

So I'm assuming it has international status

Noises coming from Ireland that the matches against Zimbabwe may be cancelled.

Haven’t seen anything on Twitter apart from your handle, how ‘loud’ are these noises??

Can’t understand why the series wouldn’t go ahead? Maybe they can’t find a broadcaster to buy the games?

Doubt that's the problem. BBC have been streaming the Afghanistan matches, and the tri-series before that - would think it's safe to assume they'd take the Zim games too.

Yeah you’d think so, but what other reason apart from money could be the reason for Ireland cancelling the tour ??

Yeah its on ESPN+ here in the US which looks like has a deal to cover all of New Zealand's and Ireland's home fixtures.

Anyone living in aus on here have the same problem as me ? My Foxtel says it’s showing the Ireland vs Afghanistan games then about a hour before play kicks off they change to formula one or golf ??

Yes I noticed that

I don’t know if this is it, but last week Foxtel announced they would cut a lot of non premium content sport from their scheduling because they made a big loss. In my kind that could easily be minnow cricket games.

As for all these cancellations, it goes to show how toxic Zimbabwe’s reputation is, we are a test nation that no one wants to play. This is how we will die, Zac won’t die with a hard thud, games will just start to dissipate, cricketers will become pay to play. People will leave the country and the game will dry up, and someone somewhere will find a way to blame white people for all of it.

There is NO official word on cancellation yet folks.

But I wouldn't be surprised. ZC really shouldn't have been so lax in the Afghan series, granted the Afghan players didn't seem keen to play Zimbabwe before a WC. Every effort should have been made to get someone to broadcast the series. The ZC gets so much money, they should fund series against non-profitable sides since fixtures against the Big 3 are virtually non-existant.

The new ODI league will rectify all these issues though. Unless of course ZIM finish below Netherlands and get relegated to the World Cup League 2.

News floating around that Sri Lanka will be touring India for 3 T20Is in January which seems like a straight replacement for our scheduled tour of 3 T20Is in India.

Also, according to this article, both series against Sri Lanka next year are cancelled. https://www.dailynews.lk/2019/09/13/spo ... -next-year

Sri Lanka was scheduled to tour Zimbabwe in January 2020 for 2 Tests, but with the ICC suspending Zimbabwe Cricket for political interference in the running of the affairs of their cricket in July this year that series is definitely out.

Zimbabwe was to tour Sri Lanka in October next year for 3 ODIs and 2 T20Is which will also not take place.

India have announced the dates and venues for the 3 T20s against Zimbabwe, I'll be surprised if it changes now esp with the suspension likely to be lifted next month.

Not sure about Sri Lanka tour, but the Zim - SLN ODIs later in the year are a part of ODI league, how can Sri Lanka cancel that?
