India have announced a 15-player squad for the five-match T20I series against Zimbabwe, commencing on July 6.

In addition to these familiar international names, there are maiden call-ups for Abhishek Sharma, Nitish Reddy, Riyan Parag, and Tushar Deshpande, all of whom had impressive seasons in the IPL 2024.
The squad has two spin options in Ravi Bishnoi and Washington Sundar, with Parag and Sharma providing part-time options.
Avesh Khan, Tushar Deshpande, Mukesh Kumar, and Khaleel Ahmed lead a strong pace attack.
