There will be cricket galore from international fixtures down to club cricket in the country in the month of July.

Following the visit by India for three ODIs and three T20I, Zimbabwe will host New Zealand for two Test matches in Bulawayo from July 28-August 10.

It is not the senior team only in action as the Zimbabwe A side is also preparing to host South Africa A for two-four day matches at Harare Sports Club and Queens Sports Club.

The first of the four-day matches starts on the ninth of this month before the two teams move to Bulawayo for their final encounter running from July 15-18.

The Zimbabwe A team will rest for a few days before taking on the New Zealanders in three-day tour  from July 22-24, a match that precedes the Tests.

On the domestic front the Zimbabwe Premier League is expected to get underway in the second week of July running for eight weeks.

The ZPL is the national league for clubs which would have finished in the top three in their respective provincial leagues.

Also on the cards is the Associate Provinces T20 competition which is will run for two weeks from dates to be confirmed this month.

There are also reports that Sri Lanka and West Indies will tour Zimbabwe between August and September as ZC sought to have more action on home soil.
