The Indian selectors have named Ajinkya Rahane as the captain for the upcoming tour of Zimbabwe. MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma, R Ashwin are amongst those who have been rested. Harbhajan Singh has made a comeback to the ODI side.
The national selectors met in Delhi to pick the squad. The tour which was initially in doubt after BCCI's problems with the host broadcaster was given the go-ahead after BCCI officials met with Zimbabwe Cricket officials on the sidelines of the ICC conference in Barbados earlier this week. It was speculated that India will be resting a few of their senior players including Kohli, Dhoni and Ashwin for the series.
Team Director Ravi Shastri already cited his unavailability for the tour. Chief selector Sandeep Patil had earlier said that there was no specific request from any player for rest but Dhoni and Kohli had on numerous occasions cited fatigue after a long season. A full strength squad lost to Bangladesh in the recently concluded ODI series while Zimbabwe put in a spirited performance against Pakistan.
Squad: Ajinkya Rahane (C), Murali Vijay, Ambati Rayudu, Manoj Tiwary, Kedar Jadhav, Robin Uthappa, Manish Pandey, Harbhajan Singh, Axar Patel, Karn Sharma, Dhawal Kulkarni, Stuart Binny, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohit Sharma, Sandeep Sharma
