The Indian squad for the five-match T20I series against Zimbabwe, starting July 6, was announced on Monday.
Shubman Gill, who missed out on a spot in the T20 World Cup squad, was named captain, while Abhishek Sharma and Riyan Parag received their maiden national call-ups.
With Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj and Arshdeep Singh rested, pacers Khaleel Ahmed and Avesh Khan, who were part of the reserves for the T20 World Cup, found a place in the 15-man squad. Rinku Singh, who was left out of the T20 global showpiece in the USA and West Indies, much to the dismay of fans, was also named in the squad.
