Zimbabwe has been readmitted by the International Cricket Council as a part following a three-month ban.
Zimbabwe, who failed to qualify for the World Cup of this year, were suspended in July because of interference.
They are eligible to play at the mens Under-19 World Cup.
On the other hand, the raising of this ban comes too late for Fridays 2020 World Twenty20 qualifying tournament in the United Arab Emirates.
It was agreed that they would be replaced by Nigeria at the event.
An ICC statement said the readmission was created following an interview in Dubai involving the Zimbabwe Cricket chairman sports minister Kirsty Coventry and Tavengwa Mukuhlani.
I would like to thank the Zimbabwe sports minister for her devotion to this reinstatement of Zimbabwe Cricket, ICC chairman Shashank Manohar said.
Her desire to function in service of Zimbabwe Cricket was clear and she has unconditionally complied with the conditions laid down by the ICC board
Zimbabwe, who continued to play games within their suspension, have not played a Test since November 2018 and continue faced England in an international.
They are 11th in the ICC Test rankings, 12th in the T20 rankings.
The suspension on the national cricket body of Nepal, imposed for a similar breach of the ICCs regulations regarding government hindrance, continues to be raised.
