South Africa Tour of Zimbabwe 2025 - Teams, Player Squads, Fixtures Schedule - All you need to know

South Africa are touring Zimbabwe to participate in a 2 Match Test Series that begins on the 28th of June in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. The Second Test of the Series will be played from the 6th of July, 2025.

Both of the Test Matches will be played at the Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo.

Zimbabwe are led by their regular skipper Craig Ervine. They will be missing out on the services of their superstar Sikandar Raza for the Test Series. However, they have blended in experience and youth in a good looking squad. The likes of Brian Bennett, Blessing Muzarabani and Wessly Madhevere have been in good form lately and they are expected to shine bright in the upcoming matches.

South Africa on the other hand are led by Keshav Maharaj in absence of their regular skipper Temba Bavuma. They have named a very young but strong squad including players like Tony de Zorzi, David Bedingham and Wiaan Mulder.

Two of South Africa's most promising future superstars Lhuan-dre Pretorius and Dewald Brevis have been given a chance to showcase their potential in the Test Series.

South Africa will certainly start as favorites for the Test Series. However, Zimbabwe will make their job harder, especially in their home conditions.
