Team India will tour Zimbabwe to play a 5-match T20 series a week after the T20 World Cup 2024. The series will start from July 6, while the last match will be played on July 14.

The head coach of the Indian team in this series will be former legendary batsman VVS Laxman.

Gautam Gambhir said that VVS Laxman was earlier considered to be the successor of Rahul Dravid, but then the news came that Gautam will be the head coach of Team India. At the same time, VVS will remain the head of the National Cricket Academy.
