The Zimbabwe cricket team toured England in May 2025 to play the England cricket team. The tour consisted of a four-day Test match. In August 2023, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced the schedule for the Test match. The venue was confirmed as Trent Bridge on 22 August 2024.
It was the first Test match between the two teams since 2003, and only the second four-day Test match played by Zimbabwe. The tour also marked the first bilateral series between the two sides in any format since 2004. This was also the first match between the two teams since 2007.
On 26 July 2024, ECB chief executive Richard Gould announced that they would be offering Zimbabwe Cricket a touring fee of for the one off test. The move was touted as a way to keep test cricket healthy in smaller nations. Zimbabwe Cricket became the first board in the modern era to be paid a "touring fee" by the host board in bilateral cricket.
On 8 May, Jordan Cox was ruled out of the one-off Test match due to an abdominal muscle injury, with James Rew named as his replacement.
On 16 May, Trevor Gwandu was ruled out of the match due to a left groin strain during a training session, with Tanaka Chivanga named as his replacement.
