The Namibia national cricket team will host Zimbabwe in a five-match T20 international series starting on Tuesday, October 24.

As per the Namibia vs Zimbabwe T20I 2023 schedule, all five T20Is will be played at the Wanderers Cricket Ground in Windhoek.

Led by captain Craig Ervine, world’s 11th ranked T20I side, Zimbabwe, have also announced their 16-member T20I squad.
