Zimbabwe, South Africa, Namibia to Play T20I Tri-Series Ahead of Africa Cup Launch
Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Namibia will compete in a T20I tri-series in Windhoek from August 28 to September 6, serving as a precursor to the Africa Cup set to launch in 2027. This tournament aims to foster regular, high-quality international cricket among African nations and strengthen continental cooperation. The Africa Cup will initially feature these three countries, with plans to expand through a qualification pathway. The tri-series also builds momentum ahead of the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2027, which these nations will co-host.
