Zimbabwe is hosting a warm-up cricket tournament against Afghanistan and Pakistan for their under-19 teams. The series starts this month in Harare. According to Zimbabwe Cricket director Givemore Makoni, these matches offer vital practice ahead of the larger ICC U19 Men's Cricket World Cup, which Zimbabwe will co-host with Namibia next year.
The games will rotate through several local venues, including Harare Sports Club and Sunrise Sports Club. Makoni noted this setup also helps test operational logistics for the upcoming global event. The top two teams from the round-robin stage will compete in a final scheduled for early January.
