Afghanistan in Zimbabwe 2024/25

Afghanistan in Zimbabwe describes a bilateral cricket series hosted by Zimbabwe. This fixture is not a permanent league with a domestic structure, a founding date, or a fixed number of participating clubs. Instead, it is a specific leg of the international cricket calendar organized by the International Cricket Council (ICC) and managed by the national boards of Zimbabwe Cricket and the Afghanistan Cricket Board. The arrangement forms part of the Future Tours Programme (FTP), distinguishing it from standalone commercial tournaments or regional events.

The most recent iteration of this series took place from December 2024 to January 2025. It comprised a multi-format schedule including three T20 Internationals, three One Day Internationals, and two Test matches. In the Twenty20 segment, Afghanistan secured the series victory with a 2-1 scoreline. During the One Day International block, Afghanistan also claimed the series, winning two of three matches; the opening encounter was abandoned due to rain. The Test component saw Zimbabwe win the first match by 10 wickets, while the final result remained pending at the time of reporting.

A subsequent tour is scheduled for October 2025, which will feature a reduced format consisting of one Test and three T20 Internationals. The historical context of the rivalry includes the first One Day International played in Bulawayo on October 16, 2015, a contest Zimbabwe won by five wickets. Their inaugural Test match occurred in 2021 in the United Arab Emirates, ending in a draw. Beyond these bilateral encounters, the teams have faced each other in ICC tournaments such as the 2018 World Cricket League Division 2 and various World Twenty20 editions. This series operates independently of domestic competitions like the Logan Cup or the Shpageeza Cricket League, serving solely as a direct contest between the two national sides.
