India will be making a short trip to Zimbabwe for the first time since 2016, as the sides play a three-match One-Day International (ODI) series from August 18. On Saturday, the All-India Senior Selection Committee announced the 15-member squad for the tour. Interestingly, former skipper and top-order batter Virat Kohli does not feature in the team. At the same time, regular skipper Rohit Sharma has also been rested ahead of the 2022 Asia Cup T20, to be played later next month in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Senior opener Shikhar Dhawan would be again leading the side, while pacer Deepak Chahar returns after an injury a couple of months back.

As for the wicketkeepers, young-gun Ishan Kishan, too, retains his spot, along with Sanju Samson. Among the all-rounders, Washington Sundar and Shardul Thakur make the cut, while among the specialist spinners, Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel rule the squad.
