Ireland will travel to Zimbabwe for a three-match ODI series next month to prepare for their Intercontinental Cup fixture against Namibia, which starts on October 24 in Windhoek.

It has been confirmed that Harare will host all three ODIs. In addition to the ODIs, Ireland will also play a four-day game against Zimbabwe A.

“It’s great to be playing what should be a really competitive series,” Ireland head coach John Bracewell said. “Ireland have enjoyed some really hard tussles with Zimbabwe over the years and I expect these games will be equally as tough.

“It’ll be a test for the squad playing in different conditions, and it’ll also serve as good preparation for when we travel on to Windhoek for the Intercontinental Cup clash with Namibia.”
