The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Sunday announced two changes in India’s squad for the upcoming series against England and Zimbabwe following injuries to Harshit Rana and Varun Chakravarthy.Fast bowler Prince Yadav replaced Harshit Rana in India’s squad for the ODI series against England. Harshit was ruled out due to a hamstring injury.
Meanwhile, leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi has been included in India’s squad for the three-match T20I series against Zimbabwe later this month, replacing Varun Chakravarthy.Bishnoi was not part of the original squad but has now been included after it was confirmed that Varun will need more time to recover from the hamstring injury that also ruled him out of the last two T20Is against England.Bishnoi featured in the first two matches of India’s five-match T20I series in England. India did not bowl in the opener after being washed out by rain. In the second T20I at Old Trafford, Bishnoi conceded 60 runs in four overs. He also bowled three no-balls off the back foot and gave two sixes and four off the resulting frees.Varun will now report to the BCCI Center of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru for further evaluation and rehabilitation.
Harshit Rana will also join him there after suffering a hamstring injury which ruled him out of the three-match ODI series against England.Varon had recently returned to action during the T20I series in Ireland before playing the first two matches of the T20Is against England. The latest injury is another setback after he fractured his left toe during the latter stages of IPL 2026. He played through the injury before missing the T20I series against Afghanistan and Ireland while recovering in the CoE.Chakravarthy also struggled to find his form in England, taking just one wicket while conceding runs at an economy rate of 10.28.Updated India lineup for England ODI: Shubman Gill (captain), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer (vice-captain), KL Rahul (CA), Ishan Kishan (CA), Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Shivam Dubey, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna, Arshdeep Singh, Gurnoor Brar, Prince Yadav.Updated India squad for Zimbabwe T20Is: Shreyas Iyer (Captain), Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma (Vice-Captain), Ishan Kishan (KW), Shivam Dubey, Suryansh Shedge, Rinku Singh, Harsh Dubey, Prince Yadav, Yash Thakur, Ashok Sharma, Mayank Yadav, Prabhsimran Singh (Canada), Ravi Bishnoi.
