Indian cricket team in Zimbabwe in 2022

The India cricket team toured Zimbabwe in August 2022 to play three One Day International (ODI) matches.[1] The ODI series formed part of the inaugural 2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League.[2][3] Originally the series was scheduled to be played in August 2020, but, in June 2020, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed that it had called off the tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4][5] However, in July 2022, the series was rescheduled to be played in August 2022.[6] All the matches took place at the Harare Sports Club.[7]
