Their return includes a three-match ODI series on January 3, 6 and 9, with the games planned in Kolkata, Hyderabad and Mumbai respectively.<\/p>\n<p>That Zimbabwe cycle sits inside a larger 2026-27 home season framework unveiled by the BCCI. The plan features 22 matches spread across 17 venues, with India set to take on teams including West Indies, Sri Lanka and Australia.<\/p>\n<p>India\u2019s home run begins with West Indies visiting for three ODIs and five T20Is starting September 27. The schedule then shifts to a white-ball engagement versus Sri Lanka in December, before the Zimbabwe ODI series arrives in January.<\/p>\n<p>The domestic season is set to culminate in a major Test showdown: the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. That five-match contest is scheduled to begin on January 21, 2027.<\/p>\n<p>With multiple formats and high-profile rivalries lined up, the Zimbabwe T20I tour is positioned as an early benchmark for India\u2019s preparations\u2014offering a chance to carry forward momentum while also evaluating depth ahead of an extended, demanding stretch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The BCCI has released the itinerary for India\u2019s next tour of Zimbabwe, a short but significant three-match T20I engagement scheduled for July 2026.
