Sai Sudharsan and Jitesh Sharma along with Harshit Rana have been included in the India squad for the first two T20Is against Zimbabwe
The BCCI selection committee has chosen Sai Sudharsan, Jitesh Sharma, and Harshit Rana to join the India squad for the first two T20Is of the five-match series against Zimbabwe.
They come in as replacements for Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube, and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Sudharsan, who made his ODI debut in South Africa last season, is set to add to his international experience.
Jitesh Sharma, with nine T20Is under his belt, debuted in the Asian Games in 2023.
Harshit Rana, who impressed during the IPL with Kolkata Knight Riders, awaits his international debut.
Following their World Cup victory on June 29, Samson, Dube, and Jaiswal were delayed in returning to India from Barbados due to a hurricane.
The trio will first travel to India with the team from the Caribbean before joining the squad in Harare for the final three T20Is.
India has opted for a relatively inexperienced squad for the series, appointing Shubman Gill as captain.
The T20I series will commence on July 6 and conclude on July 14, with all matches scheduled at the Harare Sports Club.
