India to play five ODIs in Zimbabwe

India will tour Zimbabwe for a series of five one-dayers starting July 24 and ending on August 3, the BCCI has confirmed. It will be India's next international assignment after their tri-series in the West Indies that concludes on July 11.

The first three one-dayers will be played in Harare, with the last two in Bulawayo. India had confirmed their tour following a BCCI working committee meeting earlier this month. The trip had earlier been put on hold, with the board citing the 'fatigue factor.' It is uncertain at this stage if the selectors will stick to a full-strength squad.

When India last went to Zimbabwe, in 2010, Suresh Raina captained a young side, and didn't make it to the final of the one-day tri-series.

Schedule:
July 24 - 1st ODI, Harare
July 26 - 2nd ODI, Harare
July 28- 3rd ODI, Harare
July 31 - 4th ODI, Bulawayo
August 3 - 5th ODI, Bulawayo
