Durham Cricket have now confirmed their 2024 pre-season tour, with the squad returning to Zimbabwe following a successful tour last winter.
The Durham squad will be based in Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe and will spend three weeks in Harare compromising of red & white ball matches plus warm weather training.
The squad will fly out on Monday 19 February, playing in two three-day warm up fixtures before competing in the Zimbabwe domestic T20 tournament.
Marcus North, Director of Cricket said: “We are extremely excited to be returning back to Zimbabwe for our pre-season tour after receiving an invitation from Zimbabwe Cricket.
“Having returned last year, it was a great experience for the lads, which set us up perfectly for our successful 2023 season.
“Our players and staff will gain valuable experience along with match preparation against quality opposition leading into our summer.
“As our successful winter training is coming to a close this tour will provide fantastic preparation for the lads.
“The opportunity to feature in Zimbabwe’s domestic tournament is also really exciting, this will provide the whole squad with some good quality Vitality Blast T20 match practice which we wouldn’t be able to replicate back in Durham.
“We have built up a strong relationship with Cricket Zimbabwe and this trip enables us to further work alongside an international governing body, we are very thankful to Cricket Zimbabwe for their support on this tour.”
Durham Cricket will have full coverage of the trip throughout their tour with updates across social media and the Durham Cricket website.
