India t20is: Cricket News & Match Updates

India T20Is: Zimbabwe have suffered a setback on the eve of their three-match T20I series against India, with batter Milton Shumba ruled out after sustaining a right hamstring injury. The hosts have drafted Innocent Kaia into the squad, with the opener already joining the team ahead of Thursday's series opener at the Harare Sports Club.

Shumba underwent medical scans on Tuesday that confirmed the extent of the injury, ending his involvement in the series before a ball had been bowled. The 25-year-old had only recently returned to Zimbabwe's T20I setup during the home series against Bangladesh, featuring in all three matches after an absence from the format since 2022.

Kaia, who replaces him in the squad, also returns to the shortest format after a lengthy gap. His previous T20I appearance came in July 2024, coincidentally against India at the same venue where the upcoming series will be played.   Read More...
