Three players – Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson and Shivam Dube – will link up with the squad after their World Cup commitments in the West Indies. They will also be joined by Rinku Singh, Khaleel Ahmed and Avesh Khan who were the travelling reserves of India’s T20 World Cup squad.

The series also handed a maiden senior national call-up for young IPL stars Abhishek Sharma, Dhruv Jurel, Riyan Parag and Tushar Deshpande. All-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy who was initially named in the squad was withdrawn due to an injury, with the BCCI naming Dube as his replacement.

With Rahul Dravid relinquishing as head coach, VVS Laxman will travel with the team to Zimbabwe as the interim replacement. All matches of the series will be played at the Harare Sports Club in Harare.
