Zimbabwe Cricket Managing Director Givemore Makoni expressed his happiness about Sri Lanka’s upcoming tour. He said it’s expected to be an exciting and competitive series.

“We are delighted to confirm Sri Lanka’s visit to Zimbabwe for what we expect to be a thrilling and competitive series,” Givemore Makoni said.
“Matches between our two nations have always produced entertaining cricket and this tour comes at a crucial time for our team as we prepare for the upcoming T20 World Cup qualifying campaign,” he added.
