ENG vs ZIM: England Announces Historic Home Test Series Against Zimbabwe: The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has announced that England will host Zimbabwe for a one-off Test match in May 2025. This will be the first time that England has hosted Zimbabwe in a Test match since 2003.
The match will be played at a venue yet to be confirmed, but it is likely to be held at one of England’s Test grounds, such as Lord’s, Edgbaston, or Trent Bridge.
The ECB said that the decision to host Zimbabwe was made “in the spirit of cricketing friendship” and that it was “an important step in strengthening relations between the two countries.”

The upcoming Test match between England and Zimbabwe will be a historic occasion, and it will be a chance for Zimbabwe to show the world that they are still a force to be reckoned with in Test cricket.
