Team India: Team India has to play a series of 5 T20 matches on the Zimbabwe tour after the T20 World Cup 2024. Shubman Gill has been given the responsibility of captaining the Team India squad on the Zimbabwe tour. Apart from captaining Shubman Gill, the selection committee has also given maiden call-up to some young Indian players who performed brilliantly in IPL cricket in the Team India squad.

If you look at the team squad selected for the Zimbabwe T20 series, not a single Indian player playing for big franchises like Mumbai Indians (MI) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has been given a chance in the team squad, while the selection committee has selected 5 star players from this IPL franchise for Team India.

No player from RCB and MI got a chance

Team India

The selection committee has not given a chance to any Indian player playing in the team squads of Mumbai Indians (MI) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the team squad selected for the Zimbabwe tour.

The selection committee ignored players like Ishan Kishan and Akash Madhwal who were part of the Mumbai Indians (MI) team squad for the Zimbabwe tour. Similarly, the selection committee has not given a chance to players like Rajat Patidar and Yash Dayal who were part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore team squad for the Zimbabwe tour.

5 players present in the Rajasthan Royals team got a chance

In the team squad selected for the Zimbabwe tour, not 1-2 but 5 star players of IPL franchise Rajasthan Royals have been given a chance.

Among these 5 players, Riyan Parag, Sanju Samson, Dhruv Jurel, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Avesh Khan have been given a chance.

Even after giving a chance to these 5 players, questions were being raised on the selection committee for not including the team's veteran Yuzvendra Chahal in the team squad.
