    The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced that opener Sai Sudarshan, wicketkeeper-batter Jitesh Sharma, and fast bowler Harshit Rana will replace Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube, and Yashasvi Jaiswal for the first two T20 Internationals against Zimbabwe. The initial match of the five-game series is scheduled for July 6 at Harare Sports Club. The series finale, along with all other matches, will also take place at the same venue, concluding on July 14.

    A statement by BCCI said, “The Men’s Selection Committee has named Sai Sudharsan, Jitesh Sharma and Harshit Rana as replacements for Sanju Samson, Shivam Dube and Yashasvi Jaiswal for the first two T20Is against Zimbabwe.”

    Originally slated to join the Zimbabwe-bound squad for the upcoming five-match T20I series starting Saturday, July 6, the trio will travel to India first with the rest of the ICC T20 World Cup-winning Indian squad before departing for Harare.

Flights have been cancelled delaying the team’s departure. Hurricane Beryl with Strong winds and rain due to hurricane Beryl lashing through Barbados and neighbouring islands since Sunday.

    Electricity and water supply have also been affected in the country, which hosted the ICC T20 World Cup final between India and South Africa. Currently, the Men in Blue are staying at a hotel in Barbados as the main international airport was shut.

    Speaking to reporters, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah who is accompanying the team said that they are “stuck” in Barbados and will think about the felicitation once the travel plans are clear.

    “Like you we are also stuck here. After the travel plans are clear, we will think about the felicitation,” Shah was quoted by ESPNcricinfo as saying.

    The squad features just two players from the main squad for the T20 World Cup: Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson. The rest of the squad who are part of T20 WC has been rested.

    The likes of Rinku Singh, Avesh Khan and Khaleel Ahmed who are in the reserves player list of the T20 World Cup touring party, have also been added to the squad.
