Team India has to play a 5-match T20 series against Zimbabwe from July 6. The Indian team has left for Zimbabwe for this series. But some players are in the West Indies, who had gone to play the T20 World Cup. But due to bad weather, these players will not be able to reach Zimbabwe on time. In such a situation, the BCCI has made changes in the Indian team's squad for the first two matches.

These three players were included in Team India

Sai Sudarshan, Jitesh Sharma and Harshit Rana have been included in the Indian team for the first two T20 matches against Zimbabwe. These players will replace Sanju Samson, Shivam Dubey and Yashasvi Jaiswal. Actually, Sanju Samson, Shivam Dubey and Yashasvi Jaiswal will come directly to India from Barbados and then they will later fly to Zimbabwe.

Harshit Rana got a chance for the first time

Sai Sudarshan and Jitesh Sharma have previously been part of the Indian team. At the same time, Harshit Rana has been included in the Indian team for the first time. Harshit Rana performed brilliantly in IPL 2024. He took 19 wickets in 12 matches and made an important contribution in making Kolkata Knight Riders the champion. Now he has got the fruits of this performance.
