    Both Test matches will be played in Bulawayo, from June 28 and July 6, while the tri-series will run from 14 July until 24 July and will take place in Harare.

    At the conclusion of the white-ball leg of the tour, Zimbabwe will then host the Black Caps for two Test matches from July 30 and August 7.

    Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) managing director Givemore Makoni said: "This is the biggest international home season we have had in years, and it is an incredible opportunity for our players to test themselves against two of the world's cricketing powerhouses.

    "Hosting South Africa and New Zealand for both Test cricket and an exciting T20I tri-series is a fantastic development for the growth of the game in Zimbabwe.

    "We are looking forward to welcoming the teams and putting on a great spectacle for our passionate cricket fans."
