After sitting on the sidelines post IPL 2022 due to an injury, right-handed batter KL Rahul will make his much-awaited return in the three-match ODI series against Zimbabwe, beginning Thursday. Originally, Rahul was not named in the squad, but after attaining full fitness, he was named in the team, not just as a player, but as skipper, replacing Shikhar Dhawan, who will now act as his deputy. On the eve of the first ODI, Rahul addressed a press conference where he spoke about his preparation and the challenge that lies ahead.
The Pakistan Super League is set to clash with the mighty Indian Premier League in the summer of 2025 due to Pakistan's packed home season, which sees them host the ICC Champions Trophy. The IPL's two and half month window starts from March and goes on till the beginning of June. However, the Pakistan Cricket Board has been forced to push back the 10th season of its T20 league from its regular Jaunuary-February window to between March and May as the country is set to host the Champions Trophy in February 2025.
Team India is all set to face Zimbabwe in the first ODI of the three-match series on Thursday, at the Harare Sports Club.

The Zimbabwe series will be seeing the return of KL Rahul in the squad, who was earlier excluded due to injury and later tested positive for COVID-19. It will be interesting to see whether Team India will include wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson in the playing XI or not.
Skipper KL Rahul's form and fitness will be observed keenly when India take on Zimbabwe in a three-match series, starting Thursday, in 50-over format, which is fast losing popularity and struggling to retain its identity. Supposed to be one of the most vital cogs in India's T20 World Cup top-order, Rahul would like to make full use of the game time he gets as an opener during the three games against Regis Chakabva's side.
The International Cricket Council on Wednesday announced the men's 2023-27 Future Tours Programme (FTP) schedule.

Ahead of the upcoming three-match ODI series against Zimbabwe, Team India is all geared up to clinch victory at Harare. Team India is blooming with confidence, as they have arrived in Harare after claiming the white-ball series against West Indies. With just a day left for the first ODI match against Zimbabwe, India batter Shikhar Dhawan shared a fun video of himself with fellow teammates Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill, where all three of them were seen hilariously flaunting their dancing skills.
Ravi Shastri used to push players to achieve special things but he had very little tolerance for failure during his stint as India's head coach, said veteran wicketkeeper batter Dinesh Karthik. The 37-year-old had played sporadically during Shastri's tenure as India coach, especially during the 2019 World Cup. The Shastri-Kohli tenure was a good one for Indian cricket but often the duo was criticised for not standing by a few players, who probably needed a bit more empathy during their lean patch.
