Zim table World Cup bid

ZIMBABWE Cricket will enter a joint bid to host the 2027 International Cricket Council (ICC) World Cup together with neighbours South Africa.

The country partly hosted the global showcase in 2003 and after successfully hosting the 2018 World Cup qualifiers and having already been given the rights to stage the same qualifiers for the next edition next year, the cricket body wants to try and clinch the finals.

Interest has already been registered with the ICC and the bid is being prepared.
