Zimbabwe set to make historic debut in ICC Women's Championship during New Zealand tour
Harare [Zimbabwe], June 25 (ANI): Zimbabwe women's team will make their historic debut in the ICC Women's Championship and embark on their quest to qualify for the Women's ODI World Cup when they tour New Zealand for a white-ball series in February-March 2026. The landmark tour will see the Zimbabwe women's team square off against the White Ferns in three ODIs, scheduled for March 5, 8, and 11 next year at the University of Otago Oval in Dunedin, marking their debut in the ICC Women's Championship. Before the ODIs, the two sides will compete in a three-match T20I series on February 25 and 27 and March 1 at Seddon Park in Hamilton, giving the tourists a valuable opportunity to acclimatise to New Zealand conditions ahead of their ICC Women's Championship debut. Zimbabwe's women's team were included in the coveted global competition for the first time following its expansion from 10 to 11 teams in November 2024. According to the ICC's Future Tours Programme, Zimbabwe women will travel to play New Zealand, India, Bangladesh and Pakistan, while hosting South Africa Women, West Indies, Sri Lanka and Ireland. 'It is a proud and exciting moment for us as Zimbabwe Women prepare to compete at the highest level of the global game. This is not only a testament to how far our women's cricket has come, but also a strong endorsement of our vision and investment in developing the women's game,' Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) managing director Givemore Makoni said in a statement by the board. Makoni added that making their debut in the ICC Women's Championship would inspire more girls and young women across Zimbabwe to take up the sport. 'Being part of such a prestigious competition provides our players with a platform to grow, compete and ultimately qualify for the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup,' he said. 'The exposure to top-level cricket, including this inaugural tour to New Zealand, will accelerate our progress and strengthen our global competitiveness,' he added. (ANI)

Women's ODI World Cup 2025: Full list of India matches, venues, details
The ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 is set to kickstart with host India taking on Sri Lanka at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on September 30. The tournament will be played in a hybrid manner, with Pakistan's games being played in Colombo. ALSO READ | Full schedule of the 2025 Women's ODI World Cup ALSO READ | India vs Pakistan date confirmed for Women's World Cup 2025 — Venue, date, details During the impasse around the Champions Trophy and India's reluctance to travel to Pakistan, a compromise was arrived at for all parties to agree upon the hybrid hosting model of the event. India alone played its matches in Dubai while the rest of the tournament went on as scheduled in Lahore and Karachi. ICC said then in a release: India and Pakistan matches hosted by either country at ICC Events during the 2024-2027 rights cycle will be played at a neutral venue. Political tensions between the two countries have prevented bilateral cricket outside major tournaments since 2008, with India last visiting Pakistan 16 years ago. However, Pakistan did travel to India for the 2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup. The top four sides from the round-robin stage in this tournament will progress to the semifinals with first place playing fourth and second taking on third.

International cricket to debut at New Chandigarh stadium with Ind vs Aus women series in Sept
Over a year after its completion and hosting two IPL seasons, the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) stadium in New Chandigarh is finally set to make its international debut. Having missed out on hosting the upcoming ICC Women's World Cup matches, the stadium will serve as the venue for first two one-day international (ODI) games of the India vs Australia three-match women's series to be played on September 14 and 17, respectively. Meanwhile, the third ODI tie will be held at the Delhi District Cricket Association (DDCA) Arun Jaitley stadium on September 20. Earlier, the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai was to organise all three ODIs of the series, but due to the revamp work of its outfield, the matches have been moved out. The development comes as a fresh breeze for PCA, as BCCI had recently removed its New Chandigarh stadium as one of the venues during the upcoming ICC Women's World Cup, beginning in September-end. The PCA stadium in Mohali's Phase 9 had last hosted some T20 Women's World Cup matches in 2016. After a gap of nine years, international women's cricket will return to the region, with the twin ODIs featuring India and Australia women. This series will act as a preparation for both the teams for the World Cup. The ICC Women's ODI World Cup will be held at four venues across India. Pakistan will play all their matches at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The New Chandigarh stadium had recently successfully hosted Qualifier 1 and Eliminator during the IPL, which Royal Bengaluru Challengers (RCB) eventually won in Ahmedabad. Completed in February 2024, the New Chandigarh stadium was allotted these IPL games due to the one-week break in the tournament and onset of early monsoon. Otherwise other venues were supposed to stage these IPL play-offs. Before the play-offs, the New Chandigarh stadium also hosted four Punjab Kings (PBKS) home league matches in April. Later this year, the same stadium will also organise a T20I game between India and South Africa on December 11.

Mullanpur to host 2 of women's ODI matches against Australia in September
In a first, the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh PCA International Cricket Stadium at Mullanpur will play host to the first two women's ODI matches of the three-match women's ODI series between India and Australia to be played in September later this year. While the stadium had been allocated its first International fixture earlier in April in the form of the second T20I between India and South Africa to be played on December 11 later this year, it will be the first time that the stadium will host international women's ODI matches. The opening and second women's ODI of the three-match India Australia women's ODI series will be played at the stadium on September 14 and September 17 respectively. 'Due to the revamping of the outfield and pitches at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, the IDFC First Bank ODI Series between Team India (Senior Women) and Australia Women has been moved from Chennai. The first two ODIs will now take place at the New PCA stadium in New Chandigarh, while the third and final ODI will be held at the Arun Jaitley stadium in New Delhi,' the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said in a statement. While there were media reports about the 38,000 capacity stadium playing host to the final of the 2025 Women's ODI World Cup earlier, it was not confirmed by BCCI. Earlier this month, BCCI had chosen five venues including Colombo in Sri Lanka to host matches in the 2025 Women's ODI World Cup to be played from September 30 to November 2 but the Mullanpur Stadium was not chosen as one of the venues. It will also be the first time that the likes of Indian women's cricket team captain Harmanpreet Bhullar, who belongs to Punjab, is expected to play an international match at Mullanpur stadium with the Indian women's team for the series yet to be announced. The 40-acre stadium, which has new facilities like herringbone drainage system, a sand field, international-grade dressing rooms, steam, sauna, and ice bath facilities, and a world-class gym apart from 49 corporate boxes, has hosted a total of 11 IPL matches since it started hosting IPL matches last year. It also includes four matches in this year's IPL apart from the two IPL play-offs matches played at the stadium this IPL.
