The Men in Blue will travel to Zimbabwe in August for a three-match ODI series scheduled to begin on 18th August in Harare. The side will be led by Shikhar Dhawan who recently tasted success as the skipper of the Indian team that thumped West Indies and completed a 3-0 clean sweep win in a three-match ODI series away from home. The right-handed batter Rahul Tripathi has also been called-up while Kuldeep Yadav and Deepak Chahar who had been out of action for sometime due to respective injuries have also been included in the squad.
