Shikhar Dhawan to lead as the team against Zimbabwe announced

• Three new players from the group that most recently.
• Competed in the Caribbean were included in the 15-member.
• Chosen by the All-India Senior Selection Committee.

Shikhar Dhawan who recently guided India to a 3-0 clean sweep in the West Indies was once again named captain.

Following their recovery from injury, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, and Deepak Chahar rejoin the India lineup.

The West Indies ODI series players Suryakumar Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Arshdeep Singh weren’t selected for the Zimbabwe trip.

Big stars like Captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, Mohammed Shami, and Hardik Pandya are absent from the team, as was to be expected.

Even so, the team that veteran Shikhar Dhawan has assembled appears to be a formidable one.
