India will kick off their three-match T20I series against Zimbabwe on Jul 23 at the Harare Sports Club. The visitors, led by Shreyas Iyer, have picked a refreshed squad with a mix of experienced players and several newcomers. Here’s everything you need to know, including the latest squad updates, complete schedule, match timings, live telecast and streaming details.
India tour of Zimbabwe 2026: Squad updates
India have drafted Ravi Bishnoi into the squad after Varun Chakravarthy was ruled out with a hamstring injury. Chakravarthy had already missed the final two T20Is against England and medical reports confirmed that he has not recovered in time for the Zimbabwe series.
One of the biggest talking points is the absence of Sanju Samson. Despite being included in India’s full-strength squad for the 2026 Asian Games in Japan, the wicketkeeper-batter has not been picked for this tour. The BCCI has not clarified whether the decision was due to workload management or selection reasons.
Other notable players missing from the squad include Axar Patel, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh and Washington Sundar. Shreyas Iyer will captain the side.
