I had almost forgot that Zimbabwe still play Test cricket. Their last Test match was all the way back in November 2014, and they have played just 9 Test series in the last 10 year's.

1 Test match "series" ought to be outlawed. There is no point to them. They are even worse than even numbered Test series. IMO, all Test series should be 5 matches. 3 matches is the only other acceptable alternative.
Just looking over the fixtures for the rest of the year makes me sad and angry - so many 2 Test match "series". New Zealand/Zimbabwe, New Zealand/South Africa, England/Bangladesh, Pakistan/New Zealand, Sri Lanka/Zimbabwe and Bangladesh/New Zealand are all 2 match series. >
