India postpone tour of Zimbabwe

The Indian cricket board has postponed a one-day series in Zimbabwe planned for June because of a tight schedule, secretary Niranjan Shah said on Tuesday.

"We will have it after the IPL (Indian Premier League)," he said. "Or we'll try to fit it in at a later time. It is a minor thing."

The series with three ODIs is part of the International Cricket Council's (ICC) Future Tours programme.

India, currently hosting South Africa for a Test series, have a packed schedule until early next year, starting with the 44-day IPL due to begin on April 18.

The IPL, featuring a majority of the game's leading international players, will be followed by a one-day tri-series in Bangladesh also involving Pakistan from June 8-14.

India will also feature in the Asia Cup in Pakistan from June 24-July 6 and then tour Sri Lanka.
