Jay Shah: Team India, under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, has reached Zimbabwe for the five-match T20I series. After the end of Rahul Dravid's tenure as head coach with the Indian cricket team, National Cricket Academy (NCA) director and former Indian player VVS Laxman has been made the head coach of Team India on this tour.

In this team, BCCI Secretary Jay Shah has given a chance to two such players, for whom a place in Indian cricket is far away, and they are not even worthy of playing Ranji Trophy.

These players got a chance because of Jay Shah's Shah

Team India's Indian Premier League captain Shubman Gill of Gujarat Titans is on the Zimbabwe tour. Team India's T20 World Cup squad members Shivam Dubey, Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal are also on this tour. However, due to the storm in the West Indies, many players selected for the Zimbabwe tour have not yet been able to join Team India.

In such a situation, BCCI secretary Jay Shah has included Harshit Rana, Sai Sudarshan and Jitesh Sharma in the team for the first two matches of Team India. Although these two players have got a chance in the T20I series, but among them Harshit Rana and wicketkeeper batsman Jitesh Sharma are such players who are not even eligible to play Ranji.

The first match of the series will be played on July 7

The first match of the series between Zimbabwe vs India will be played in Harare on July 7. At the same time, the members of the T20 World Cup team are still stranded in Barbados due to the hurricane in the West Indies. In such a situation, BCCI has hurriedly included substitute players for Zimbabwe in the team, who will become a part of Team India's squad.

After Rahul Dravid's coaching tenure with Team India ended, National Cricket Academy director and former Indian cricket team batsman VVS Laxman has been given the responsibility of head coach for this tour. It is possible that BCCI will announce the name of the new head coach after this tour.
