Following the T20I series, which Afghanistan swept by 3-0, these two teams will lock horns in a two-match Test series from November 4. The second Test will commence on November 13, and both the matches are to be played at Sharjah Cricket Stadium.

Afghanistan and Zimbabwe have faced each other only five times in the longer format, with both teams winning two matches each. They drew the series 1-1 the last time Zimbabwe toured Afghanistan, incidentally also hosted in the UAE.

Rahmat Shah will continue to lead Afghanistan after taking over the full-time role since the dramatic draw against Bangladesh. Rashid Khan and Ibrahim Zadran are rested from this series as well.

Zimbabwe have played only one Test this year, against Bangladesh in June at home. They won that match by an innings and 85 runs (their biggest ever victory margin) on the back of Innocent Kaia’s 140 and Blessing Muzarabani’s four-for.
