Australia reschedule Zimbabwe tour

Australia have pushed back their tour of Zimbabwe from June to September 2007 so they can make the trip in conjunction with the Twenty20 Championship in South Africa, according to Cricket Australia.

Australia are due to play three ODI matches against Zimbabwe on their first tour there since 2004. Issues around the team's security will be considered after the World Cup which starts next week.

AAP reported Cricket Australia and the Australian Cricketers' Association would send a security delegation to Zimbabwe in August. No Tests will be played as Zimbabwe do not regain their full status until November.
