ISLAMABAD: Zimbabwe have confirmed their participation as a replacement team after Afghanistan decided to pull out of the tri-nation T20 series in Pakistan due to border tensions.

The tri-series, which now includes Pakistan, Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka, is scheduled to take place from November 17 to 29.

The opening match will see Pakistan take on Zimbabwe in Rawalpindi on November 17, followed by Sri Lanka taking on Zimbabwe at the same venue. Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium will host five additional matches of the series.

The PCB expressed relief at securing Zimbabwe’s participation, ensuring that fans will still get to see a full schedule of competitive T20 action despite the geopolitical challenges affecting the Afghanistan team.
