Sony Sports Network has announced the exclusive TV and digital rights for the upcoming India Tour of Zimbabwe. A young Indian contingent is expected to travel to Harare for the enticing T20I series, which is scheduled to be played between 6th July and 14th July 2024.

Sony Sports Network will bring all the LIVE action from the series in four languages – English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. The five-match T20I series will be broadcast on Sony Sports Ten 3 (Hindi) SD & HD, Sony Sports Ten 4 (Tamil / Telugu) & Sony Sports Ten 5 SD & HD.
