prehistory

The tour was confirmed by Zimbabwe on March 24, 2011. Zimbabwe withdrew from Test Cricket in 2006 due to organizational problems and had not taken a test since then. The test on this tour was the first test in Zimbabwe since the tour of India in 2005 . Bangladesh had also not taken a test for a year. Since both teams were the worst test teams to be classified, they carried out several tours against each other in order to collect match practice, most recently in December in Bangladesh .
