After claiming the title of ICC T20 World Cup 2024, the Indian cricket team is ready to play a five-match bilateral series against Zimbabwe starting on Saturday, July 6. All matches will be played at the Harare Sports Club in the capital city of Harare. (More Cricket News)
Shubman Gill, who missed the opportunity to feature in the 15-member squad for the recently concluded T20 World Cup, will be leading the young squad with many new faces.
Many players who excelled in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 were called up, including the explosive batters Riyan Parag and Abhishek Sharma. Both players had an outstanding IPL season, and their selection was not surprising at all.
Ruturaj Gaikwad and Yashasvi Jaiswal are set to play in the top order. Sanju Samson and Dhruv Jurel are the two wicket-keeping options. Washington Sundar and Ravi Bishnoi will be the two spinners, while Avesh Khan, Khaleel Ahmed, Mukesh Kumar, and Tushar Deshpande will be in the seam bowling department.
Earlier, the 21-year-old Nitish Kumar Reddy was also included in the squad but was later removed after he sustained an injury and Shivam Dube, who has played all matches for India in their successful T20 World Cup campaign, was named as his replacement.
Rinku Singh will also be going to the African nation for the first time. Parag, Deshpande and Sharma are expected to make their international debut on this bilateral series.
VVS Laxman will be travelling with the squad as their head coach. Rahul Dravid's tenure as India's head coach ended with the T20 World Cup final win and the announcement of the new head coach is expected soon.
