Cricket was played in Zimbabwe from the late 19th century onwards. Lord Hawke and HDG Leveson Gower took touring parties to Rhodesia (as the country was called before independence) between 1899 and 1910, and Zimbabwe was sporadically part of the Currie Cup in South Africa's domestic system in the first half of the 20th century. As an Associate member of the ICC, they played three World Cups - 1983, where they beat Australia in what was their first ODI - 1987 and 1992. They became a Full Member in 1992 and hosted India for a one-off Test in Harare in October that year.
