The Indian team is on a tour of Zimbabwe before the Asia Cup. However, many veterans of Team India have been rested on this tour. When the team was announced for this tour Shikhar Dhawan was given the captaincy. Dhawan was earlier also the captain of the team in the ODI series against the Windies, but as soon as KL Rahul returned from injury, Dhawan lost the captaincy and Rahul was made the captain. However, Dhawan has no regrets about this.
Dhawan may have lost the captaincy but as the team’s most experienced player on the Zimbabwe tour, he is always ready to help the youth. “I really enjoy sharing my experience with the youngsters in the team,” Dhawan said at a press conference in Harare. I came here for the first time in 2014 (2013), when Duncan Fletcher was the Indian coach. If they (youth) come to me for any suggestion, I am (always) ready to answer them.
good chance for rahul
This 36-year-old left-handed batsman is very happy that captain Rahul will get a chance to spend time on the field before the Asia Cup. He said, it is very good news that KL (Rahul) is back and will also lead the team. He is one of the main players of this Indian team. It will be a good preparation for him before the Asia Cup starts. I am sure he will benefit greatly from this tour.
sad to be outside beautiful
All-rounder Washington Sundar has been ruled out of the tour due to injury. He injured his shoulder in the Royal London One Day Cup in England. This 22-year-old player from Chennai represented the Indian team for the last time in February 2021. The Indian vice-captain said, it is sad that Washington is out. He is a very important player for the team. But it is part of the career. Injuries will keep happening. Hope he gets well soon. He will be missed as a spinner but the team has options in the form of Kuldeep Yadav and Deepak Hooda.
Zimbabwe will not be taken lightly
The Indian team has visited this African country for the first time since 2016. Looking at Zimbabwe’s stellar performance against Bangladesh, Dhawan said that he will not take this team lightly. This Delhi batsman said, he has won against Bangladesh. They are playing good cricket. It is good for us and we cannot take anything lightly. It’s about the process.
Thank you Sikandar Raza

He has been playing for Zimbabwe for a long time. I am sure our bowlers will come to the field with a better plan against him.
