When will India squad for India vs Zimbabwe T20I series be announced?
India squad for IND vs ZIM T20I series is expected to be announced next week. The five-match T20I series between India and Zimbabwe begins from July 6, 2024, onwards. However, this announcement may be delayed as the new India head coach may have a say in the selection. Ruturaj Gaikwad, under whose captaincy India won the gold medal in Asian Games, could be picked as the captain for IND vs ZIM T20I series.
A senior BCCI official told InsideSport, “The team should be announced by next week. But I don’t know when it will happen because Ajit (Agarkar) can discuss some names with the new coach. If there is a delay in the selection of the new coach, they can announce the team anytime next week.”

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will most likely not be part of IND vs ZIM T20 series. Senior players Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja, and Hardik Pandya are also expected to take a break. Suryakumar Yadav and Rishabh Pant are also likely to get rest after ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 as well.
A BCCI official stated, “All the players have played IPL and T20 World Cup for a long time. They all need workload management. Whether Rishabh will play in Zimbabwe or not will depend on his condition. Even though he was out for so long, he has been playing cricket consistently since the IPL.”
