The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the squad for the upcoming Zimbabwe tour on Saturday.
The tour will kick off from August 18 where three-ODIs will be played.
Shikhar Dhawan, who had also led India recently and guided them to a 3-0 series whitewash in West Indies, will captain once again in absence of Rohit Sharma, who has been rested for Zimbabwe ODI’s.
Apart from Rohit, most of the regular ODI members — Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya and Mohammad Shami — have also been given rest.
While there was also no likes of KL Rahul in the side as he is outlined with an injury.
Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Arshdeep Singh and Yuzvendra Chahal, who were all part of the ODIs in the West Indies, are also not included in the squad.
It quite clear that Team India have tried to get fresh faces in the side to know the value of their pool strength.
