Opening post

Has anyone heard any more about this tour ?

I remember, back in august, that the tour was supposed to take place in november but have not seen anything else since. It certainly doesn't appear on future tours as listed on cricinfo.

Is it still happening or has it been quietly forgotten about ?

ZC did publish a planned itinerary:
Code: Select all
13-16 November Four-day match Harare Sports Club
19 November One-day tour match Harare Sports Club
21 November 1st ODI Harare Sports Club
23 November 2nd ODI Harare Sports Club
25 November 3rd ODI Harare Sports Club
28 November 4th ODI Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo
30 November 5th ODI Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo

...but as you say, nothing has been confirmed since then. It's an FTP-mandated tour, though, so Sri Lanka don't get much say in it - they'll have to tour unless ZC agree to defer it.

I found this article on cricinfo tonight.

It mentions flying back straight into a 5 ODI series against Sri Lanka, looks hopeful then .......

Sri Lanka squad announced. A few changes from the side Zim faced in Canada.

I can't say that i was very confident that this tour would happen.

Great to be proved wrong :D
