One Day International series

Originally, the fixtures were scheduled to be played in June 2020, but they were moved to early August 2020 by Cricket Australia.[5] The revised dates clashed with the inaugural season of The Hundred in England, with several Australian cricketers initially expected to take part in the tournament.[6] However, The Hundred was postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[7] The pandemic also put Zimbabwe's tour to Australia in doubt,[8] but on 28 May 2020, Cricket Australia confirmed the fixtures for the series.[9][10] The following month, the series was put into further doubt, after Cricket Australia announced several cost-saving measures.[11] On 20 June 2020, during a Q&A session with Cricket Australia's interim CEO, Nick Hockley, he said that the tour was on his priority list to get clarity on its status.[12]
