KL Rahul cleared to play Zimbabwe series, will captain the side

KL Rahul has gotten the green sign from BCCI's clinical group, clearing his support in the impending three-ODI visit through Zimbabwe. Shikhar Dhawan, initially named skipper for the short visit, will act as the appointee to the returning Rahul.

Rahul, who has not played global cricket since February this year, has been disappeared by a progression of injury and wellbeing concerns. Just after the IPL, he was planned to commander India in the home T20Is against South Africa yet passed up a major opportunity attributable to a crotch injury. The spell uninvolved was reached out after it was uncovered that the 30-year-old would require a medical procedure. Subsequently, Rahul missed the visit through England and Ireland.

He was booked to return at the fair closed visit through West Indies and USA yet following a positive Covid-19 outcome, the BCCI clinical group exhorted him rest. He has previously been named in India's crew for the Asia Cup toward the finish of this current month.

All the three ODIs of India's visit will be held at the Harare Sports Club, with the series starting off on August 18.
