India will face Zimbabwe for the 3-match ODI series from 18th August 2022 to 22nd August 2022, just before the upcoming Asia Cup 2022 tournament. A few days after the official squad announcement, KL Rahul who did not play a single game for the national team due to injuries and illness is once again back in the action for the Zimbabwe tour. KL will also be leading the side in the absence of the Indian cricket team’s full-time skipper Rohit Sharma.
