India have postponed their one-day series in Zimbabwe due to the Indian Premier League.

The three-game tour, originally scheduled for June, will now take place after the IPL, which starts on April 19.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India made the announcement.

"The Zimbabwe tour has been put off indefinitely," BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah said. "We will have it after the IPL, or we'll try to fit it in at a later time.

"It is a minor thing."

The series, featuring three one-day internationals, is part of the ICC's Future Tours programme.

India, who are currently hosting a Test series against South Africa, have a packed schedule for the remainder of the season.

They are already scheduled to play in a one-day tri-series in Bangladesh between June 8-14, and they will also feature in the Asia Cup in Pakistan from 24 June to 6 July, before a tour to Sri Lanka.
