All systems go for T20 tri-series: Finch

Australia's T20 players have declared it's "all systems go" for next month's T20 tri-series in Zimbabwe amidst continuing political unrest in the country.

A bomb blast last weekend heightened political tensions in the African nation ahead of a landmark election, with Australia and Pakistan – the world's top two-ranked T20 teams – due to visit Harare for matches from July 1-8.

The Aussies have a one-off match against England at Edgbaston tonight (3.30am Thursday AEST) before they head to Africa, and are confident the tour will proceed without incident.

"We were briefed on it last night by Frank (Dimasi) our security guy and all systems go," said Australia T20 captain Aaron Finch. 

"With DFAT, the Australian Government and Cricket Australia, they'll make sure that all the due diligence is done to make sure it is safe. 

"But at this stage I haven't heard any unease from the player in regards to going."

Zimbabwe is due to hold an election on July 30, with president Emmerson Mnangagwa seeking to bolster his government's legitimacy after seizing power.

Mnangagwa was the subject of an apparent assassination attempt on the weekend, when he survived a deadly explosion during a party rally at a Bulawayo stadium.

Cricket Australia is continuing to monitor the situation closely.

"The safety and security of our players and support staff is paramount and as always, we will take advice from the relevant Australian authorities," a CA spokesperson said.

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) is warning Australians that "instances of conflict cannot be ruled out in the lead up to, during and soon after the election" and "the security situation could deteriorate quickly".

Australian visitors are currently advised to "exercise a high degree of caution in Zimbabwe".

The T20 series isn't an International Cricket Council event, meaning security arrangements are the responsibility of member boards.

However, the ICC is also currently assessing the security situation in relation to its match officials. Local broadcasters are expecting the tri-series to go ahead.

CA received assurances on several fronts, including security, during a routine pre-tour visit earlier this month.
