Afghanistan's limited-overs tour of Zimbabwe, which was to be played in early February in Harare, has been postponed. The tour was originally supposed to take place in December but upon request from the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB), it was deferred to a later date. Zimbabwe Cricket cited its inability to secure "the required broadcast services" as the reason for the second postponement of the series.

The tour was to include three ODI matches - part of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League - as well as five T20I games. While the ACB agreed to play the series in February, "unfortunately ZC could not secure, on short notice, all the required broadcast services, including the Decision Review System, due to the many cricket events happening elsewhere across the world," stated a release from ZC on Friday (January 28).

"We were excited about hosting Afghanistan but, given the circumstances, deferring the tour was the only option," ZC Managing Director Givemore Makoni said. "We are, however, looking forward to the rescheduling of the series as soon as practically possible."

Afghanistan, meanwhile, are likely to travel to Bangladesh in February for a limited-overs series. The series includes three ODIs, which are also part of the ICC Super League, and two T20Is.
