Talk:Zimbabwean cricket team against Afghanistan in the UAE in 2017–18

Is this confirmed yet

The sources seem to say it is being suggested / planned, but not that it is actually a firm date, so may be a bit WP:CRYSTAL Spike 'em (talk) 13:24, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

The articles linked are very similar and say things like:

"discussions on Afghanistan playing their inaugural Test at our ground after the ODI series"

"We are ready to host Afghanistan's first Test and for that, dates will be finalised soon"

"Afghanistan is hoping to lock horns with Zimbabwe in their inaugural Test" which all seem to indicate that it is still in a planning phase. Spike 'em (talk) 13:32, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

The Cricinfo article also says "While there are Tests against South Africa and Afghanistan to look forward to". I can see several Afghan news reports about this, but I can't access them at work at the moment (stupid firewall)! Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 13:42, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

Page move?

As per other articles on series taking place in UAE, Shouldn't this be Zimbabwe vs Afghanistan in UAE? From what I can tell, Afghanistan are nominally the home team here (though I thought they had established a base in India) Spike 'em (talk) 08:25, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

Rats! If I have one blind-spot, it's the naming of tours that happen in the UAE. Good spot, Spike. I'll do the move now. Unless someone wants a long drawn-out request at WP:RM, at the expense of the taxpayer. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 08:43, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
