REUTERS: Australia will return to Zimbabwe for the first time in a decade later this year to take part in a triangular one-day international tournament, Zimbabwe Cricket said on Thursday.
The Australians have not toured the country since May 2004, but will open the triangular tournament - which also includes South Africa - on 25 August against the host nation at Harare Sports Club. All six round-robin matches will be played in Harare, as well as the final on 7 September.
South Africa will play one test match and three ODIs before the arrival of Australia.
The test between Zimbabwe and the Proteas will be played in Harare from 9-13 August, followed by three 50-over matches to be staged in Bulawayo.
