When the three-match ODI series against Zimbabwe begins on August 18 in Harare, it will be with Shahbaz Ahmed in lieu of the “injured” Washington Sundar.
On Tuesday, the All-India Senior Selection Committee confirmed that Shahbaz Ahmed would be starting in lieu of Washington Sundar, who was listed as “injured,” for the three One-Day Internationals scheduled to begin on August 18 in Harare. “In England, while playing for his County, Washington Sundar suffered a shoulder injury. His participation in the Zimbabwe trip has been canceled “according to Tuesday’s board-issued press release.
On August 18, 2022, India and Zimbabwe will meet for the first one-day international at the Harare Sports Club.
Once thought to be leading India against Zimbabwe, Shikhar Dhawan has since been replaced by KL Rahul, a right-handed hitter.
Many of India’s top players have been benched for the ODI series against Zimbabwe, including Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, and Yuzvendra Chahal.
