Bangladesh is scheduled to play a one-off Test, three ODIs, and three T20Is in Zimbabwe, but there was some uncertainty over the tour as the country has halted all sporting activities because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

But now it is confirmed that Zimbabwe will host Bangladesh across all three formats of the game next month despite a ban on sports events in the country, Zimbabwe cricket said on Tuesday (22nd June).
