Zimbabwe will make its Test cricket comeback with a home series against Bangladesh next May.
Zimbabwe withdrew from tests in January 2006 after being left depleted following confrontations between senior players and the Zimbabwe Cricket board.
Board chairman Peter Chingoka announced the return yesterday during a visit by International Cricket Council president David Morgan and chief executive Haroon Lorgat.
"We will resume our test commitments against Bangladesh at home in May 2011," Chingoka told The Associated Press.
"We will then have gradual progression afterwards by playing sides we think we can compete with, like West Indies and New Zealand."
Chingoka also told The AP that Cricket South Africa has offered Zimbabwe a one-off test every year, starting next year.
"We are indebted to Cricket South Africa for their continuous support," he said.
