The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has named India's squad for the upcoming three-match T20I series against Zimbabwe, set to be played in Harare later this month. The massive development has been the exclusion of wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson

Despite having played a big role in India's win at the T20I World Cup 2026, he has not been included in the 15-player squad. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who recently made his international debut during India's second T20I of the ongoing five-match series against England, has been incorporated in the squad.

Meanwhile, a lot of other familiar names have also not found any place in the squad. Pacers Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana and Arshdeep Singh have been left out. Spin-bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar and leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi are among the other players who failed to make the cut. Rinku Singh has earned a recall. Fast bowler Mayank Yadav has also made a comeback to the T20I squad

India T20I squad for Zimbabwe T20Is: Shreyas Iyer (c), Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma (vc), Ishan Kishan (wk), Shivam Dube, Suryansh Shedge, Rinku Singh, Harsh Dubey, Varun Chakaravarathy, Prince Yadav, Yash Thakur, Ashok Sharma, Mayank Yadav, Prabhsimran Singh (wk)
