India Vs Zimbabwe T20 Schedule
Beginning on July 6 in Harare, India will embark on a five-match Twenty20 International tour to Zimbabwe. Shubman Gill will lead the Men in Blue, who have rested their key players after their T20 World Cup victory. In 2024, a youthful Indian squad will play from July 6th to the 14th, after their victory in the ICC Trophy.
The five-match Twenty20 International series will be a part of India’s visit to Zimbabwe. Sanju Samson and Yashasvi Jaiswal are the only two Indians out of a fifteen-person team that will be touring Zimbabwe for the Twenty20 World Cup in 2024.
The following is the schedule for Zimbabwe Vs. India.

India will usher in a new era in Twenty20 International cricket with Gill at the helm after Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja announced their retirement from cricket.
Young Indian Premier League talents Abhishek Sharma, Dhruv Jurel, Riyan Parag, and Tushar Deshpande all received their first senior national team calls in this series. After all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy withdrew from the team owing to an injury, the BCCI selected Dube to replace him.

Since Zimbabwe was not able to make it to the World Cup, this series may be very beneficial for one of the 12 International Cricket Council (ICC) permanent members. The two boards had a conversation before the series was scheduled, according to a press statement from the BCCI.
The schedule is still pending, however as Zimbabwean matches are typically day games, they will probably start at 1:00 pm local time, which is 3:30 hours later than Indian Standard Time (IST). The weekend’s four matches will go off at 4:30 p.m. IST, while the weekday match will commence at 9:30 p.m. IST.
