IND vs ZIM: Live streaming details, when and where to watch 1st T20I of India's tour of Zimbabwe 2024

The first IND vs ZIM T20I will be played on Saturday, July 6 in Harare.

The Indian cricket team finally ended their 11-year-long ICC title drought by winning the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 tournament in Barbados on June 29. Team India’s next assignment will be to conquer Zimbabwe, where they will play a five-match T20I series. The first match of the five-match T20I series will be played at the Harare Sports Club in Harare on July 6.

It was expected that the BCCI selectors would rest senior players after their T20 World Cup 2024 triumph, as they named a young squad for the upcoming Zimbabwe tour.

Shubman Gill will lead the young Indian side, whereas there will be some new faces in the line-up, with a few cricketers expected to make their debuts for the national side. Abhishek Sharma, Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel earned their maiden T20I call-up for performing well in the Indian Premier League 2024.

Meanwhile, the selectors have also named Sai Sudharsan, Jitesh Sharma and Harshit Rana instead of Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shivam Dube for the first two T20Is.

For Zimbabwe, veteran all-rounder Sikandar Raza will lead the side in the upcoming T20I series against India. Interestingly, the cricket board has also named the Belgian-born cricketer Antum Naqvi in the squad, who is a 25-year-old batter. Surprisingly, veteran cricketers Craig Ervine and Sean Williams have been excluded from the 17-man line-up.
