KEY HIGHLIGHTS
  • India's tour of Zimbabwe will feature 3 ODIs, starting August 18.
  • Big-name players like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah aren't a part of the series.
  • Shikhar Dhawan will be leading the Men in Blue in the series.
Though the focus of the Indian team remains on the forthcoming Asia Cup 2022, the tour of Zimbabwe offers the Men in Blue an opportunity to test some of the fringe players while keeping the 2023 ODI World Cup in mind.
While Shikhar Dhawan will be leading the Men in Blue for the series, the likes of Rahul Tripathi, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Subman Gill, etc. have all been called up. The series also marks the return of Washington Sundar and Deepak Chahar into the Indian team while Kuldeep Yadav would also look to get a consistent run in the team, having only gotten isolated opportunities of late.
It is the first time in 6 months that Chahar will be seen wearing the Indian team's jersey. He, along with the likes of Kuldeep, Gill, Sundar, Shubman, etc., will also be looking to impress the selectors enough to come into T20 World Cup consideration. At present, none of these players look to be challenging for a spot in the T20 squad.
Zimbabwe, meanwhile, have been quite impressive in their recent fixtures. They defeated Bangladesh in both the T20I and ODI series, winning 4 matches out of a total of 6 from the assignment. Against a 'reserve' Indian side, expect Craig Ervine's men to put up a brave fight.
