However, there is every possibility that Zimbabwe may be seen playing all its home matches at the Harare Sports Club ground.

On the other hand, throwing more light on the 8 venues shortlisted by Cricket South Africa for the World Cup 2027, CSA CEO Pholetsi Moseki said according to Cricket South Africa’s website – These venues are based on a scientific practice, in which hotels Airport availability is also included with the numbers. If a place is not chosen, it includes the reality of places not chosen.

We currently have 11 ICC approved venues. So, it was quite difficult to leave out three venues, but everything else has also been taken care of. The practice spaces available at all these venues along with other practice spaces have also been taken into account.
