After losing badly in the five-match T20 series against England, the Indian cricket team will now play a three-match ODI series against the host team. After this, Team India will go to Zimbabwe for a three-match T20 series. Bowling all-rounder Harshit Rana and mystery spinner Varun Chakraborty are both out of the series. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has now announced the replacement of these two players.

However, BCCI has not replaced Chakraborty and Rana with any new players, but has included those players who were part of the embarrassing T20 series defeat against England. Leg spinner Ravi Bishnoi and young fast bowler Prince Yadav have been included in Team India’s squad for the England ODI series and Zimbabwe T20 series as replacements for Harshit Rana and Varun Chakraborty.

Complaint of sudden discomfort in right hamstring

Harshit Rana complained of sudden discomfort in his right hamstring during the third T20 match against England at Trent Bridge. Scans revealed a Grade 1 hamstring injury. Following this, he has been ruled out of the upcoming ODI series against England and will report to BCCI’s Center of Excellence (CoE) for further investigation and treatment.

Varun Chakraborty was out due to this reason

During the third T20I against England, Varun Chakravarthy suddenly felt discomfort in his left hamstring. An MRI scan revealed a grade 2 hamstring injury. On specialist advice, he has been ruled out of the upcoming T20I series against Zimbabwe. He will contact the Chief Executive Officer of BCCI for further treatment.
