The Indian cricket team has arrived in Zimbabwe ahead of the five-match T20I series starting July 6. The selectors have opted for a second-string squad, allowing most of the World Cup players to rest.
Among the main squad, only Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube, and Yashasvi Jaiswal are part of the team, but they are expected to miss the first two T20Is as the winning team will arrive in New Delhi early Thursday morning.
Zimbabwe Cricket posted a video of the players arriving at the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport. The visiting team is set to have their first training session on Thursday, July 4, 48 hours before the first T20I.
