Ravi Bishnoi to Replace Injured Varun Chakaravarthy in India's Zimbabwe T20I Squad
India's leg-spinner Varun Chakaravarthy has been ruled out of the upcoming T20I series against Zimbabwe starting July 23 due to a hamstring injury sustained before the fourth T20I against England. Despite earlier clearance from the BCCI's Centre of Excellence, Varun's injury led to his replacement by Ravi Bishnoi, who was initially left out of the squad. The selection, made in consultation with head coach Gautam Gambhir and CoE chief V.V.S. Laxman, also follows the exclusion of pace-bowling all-rounder Harshit Rana due to injury.
