Deepak Chahar and Washington Sundar return to the team as the BCCI announces India squad for ODIs against Zimbabwe starting on August 18.

On Saturday, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the ODI squad of India for the forthcoming three-match ODI series against Zimbabwe in August. Shikhar Dhawan has once again been named as the skipper of the side in the absence of Rohit Sharma, who has been rested. Also, star medium pacer Deepak Chahar has made a comeback to the side after recovering from the severe injury that he had sustained ahead of the IPL 2022.

The three-match ODI series of the India tour of Zimbabwe 2022 will be played on August 18, August 20, and August 22. All the games of the series will be played at the same venue, Harare Sports Club, and the series will be part of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League.

"The All-India Senior Selection Committee has picked the squad for the three-match ODI series to be played against Zimbabwe in Harare."

Thed BCCI stated

Almost all the first-choice players of the team have been rested for the series, also including Virat Kohli, who was reportedly set to tour Zimbabwe to gain back his form. Meanwhile, Rahul Tripathi got his maiden ODI call-up.

Left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh, who was part of India's ODI squad for the series against England and West Indies, has surprisingly not been included in the squad.

Meanwhile, spin-bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar has returned to the squad after recovering from an injury. Also, Sundar's Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) teammate Rahul Tripathi has got his maiden ODI call-up for the Zimbabwe ODIs.
