The Indian cricket team is currently on England tour, where the five-match T20 series between both the teams is going on. After this, Team India has to go on Zimbabwe tour, where it has to play three T20 matches. On Monday, BCCI announced the Indian squad for the Zimbabwe series. Everyone is shocked to see the squad, because Sanju Samson’s name is nowhere in it. But meanwhile, BCCI has provided opportunity to four players for T20 debut.
4 players will debut
Actually, BCCI has included wicketkeeper batsman Prabhsimran Singh, Yash Thakur, Ashok Sharma and Harsh Dubey in the team for the T20 series against Zimbabwe. Talking about Prabhsimran Singh, he was a part of India’s Asian Games 2023 team, but could not play a single match. Left-arm spin bowling all-rounder Harsh Dubey has recently made his ODI debut against Afghanistan, but now he can also make his T20 debut against Zimbabwe.
On the other hand, fast bowlers Ashok Sharma and Yash Thakur have been selected in Team India for the first time. Ashok Sharma played for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2026, but before that he was the highest wicket-taker in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He had taken 22 wickets in 10 matches. On the other hand, Yash Thakur played for Punjab Kings in IPL 2026, taking 37 wickets in 16 matches together in Vijay Hazare Trophy and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.
Indian squad for Zimbabwe T20 series: Shreyas Iyer (captain), Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Verma (vice-captain), Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Shivam Dubey, Suryansh Shedge, Rinku Singh, Harsh Dubey, Varun Chakraborty, Prince Yadav, Yash Thakur, Ashok Sharma, Mayank Yadav, Prabhsimran Singh (wicketkeeper).
