India’s tour of Zimbabwe gets underway with the first T20I on Wednesday, July 23, at the Harare Sports Club, and there’s plenty to look forward to. A fresh-looking Indian squad, led by Shreyas Iyer, will be hoping to make a strong start to the three-match series after a difficult run in recent T20I assignments. If you’re planning to watch the action live, here’s everything you need to know about the match timing, TV broadcast, and live streaming details.
India eye fresh start under Shreyas Iyer
The upcoming series gives India an opportunity to reset after back-to-back T20I series defeats in Ireland and England. Captain Shreyas Iyer is still searching for his first victory as India’s T20I skipper and will be eager to lead from the front in Harare.
The visitors have also named several fresh faces in the squad. Rinku Singh returns to the T20I setup, while express pacer Mayank Yadav adds extra firepower to the bowling attack. The selectors have also handed maiden T20I call-ups to Harsh Dubey, Ashok Sharma, Yash Thakur, and Prabhsimran Singh, giving fans a chance to see some exciting young talent in Indian colours.
