Both Tests are to be played at the Harare Sports Club
1st Test: October 29th-November 2nd
2nd Test: November 6th-November 10th

There was some uncertainty over the tests being played due to the economic situation in Zimbabwe, and Harare based players not playing/training over unpaid fees but that seems to be taken care of for the time being.

Zimbabwe Squad: Graeme Cremer (capt.), Tino Mawoyo, Hamilton Masakadza, Craig Ervine, Sean Williams, Regis Chakabva, Peter Moor, Donald Tiripano, Chris Mpofu, Taurai Muzarabani, Michael Chinouya, Brian Chari, Sikandar Raza, Malcolm Waller, Carl Mumba, Tarisai Musakanda.

If want to win this match , then Kusal Perera needs to give the team a rapid start like he did in the 1st innings .........
Then Sri Lanka may have the chance to bowl out , provided they have enough overs to bowl .

Graeme Cremer is an absolute legend. And against all the odds, he may just have the best cover drive in world cricket!

This test will remain in the minds of a true cricket man for a really long time... Greame Cremer played really well.. And wins a Man of The Match in a losing cause

Apparently DRS will be used for the first time in Zim for the second test match which is good considering the amount of howlers from the umpires in the first test.
