India vs Zimbabwe T20i Series Squad changes: The Indian cricket team has left for Harare for the T20 international series against Zimbabwe. The first match of the series is to be played on June 6. However, in the meantime, a big news has suddenly come out. The BCCI has made changes in the team’s squad. India TV had given you the news of this a day ago and expressed the possibility that changes could be seen in the Indian team. Now the BCCI secretary has confirmed this.
Changes in the Indian team for the first two T20 matches
The Indian team was already announced for the five-match series between India and Zimbabwe. Whose captaincy was given to Shubman Gill. Meanwhile, a total of 5 players of the team that became the champion in the T20 World Cup 2024 were also selected for this series. But the Indian team is still stuck in Barbados and has not been able to return. Therefore, suddenly a change has been forced in the squad. It has been told by BCCI Secretary Jai Shah that Sai Sudarshan, Jitesh Sharma and Harshit Rana have also been included in the teams for the first two T20 International matches. These players will replace Sanju Samson, Shivam Dubey and Yashasvi Jaiswal. It is being told that these three players will first come to India with the whole team and after that they will leave for Harare to play the series.
The newly selected players will leave soon
Meanwhile, there is news that the Indian team has left for the series. However, captain Shubman Gill is not included in the team that has gone. News is coming that Shubman Gill is currently in the US and from there he will join the team directly. This time the responsibility of the head coach of the team has been given to VVS Laxman. This has been done because Rahul Dravid’s tenure has ended and the BCCI has not yet announced the name of the new head coach. Meanwhile, it is believed that the new players who have been selected for this series will soon leave for Harare, as the first match is not very far away now.
Indian team for the first and second T20 matches against Zimbabwe: Shubman Gill (captain), Ruturaj Gaikwad, Abhishek Sharma, Rinku Singh, Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Riyan Parag, Washington Sundar, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Khaleel Ahmed, Mukesh Kumar, Tushar Deshpande, Sai Sudarshan, Jitesh Sharma (wicketkeeper), Harshit Rana.
