India men's cricket team has arrived in Zimbabwe, where they will play a three match T20I series starting Thursday, July 23. All three games will be played at the Harare Sports Club, and for Shreyas Iyer, this tour is about a lot more than just ticking off fixtures on a calendar. It's his chance to steady a team that has stumbled through recent series losses to Ireland and England, and start building something fresh in the T20 format. Here is everything you need to know before the two sides take the field this week.
The entire three-match series will be played at Harare Sports Club, making conditions consistent across all fixtures.
1st T20I: July 23 (Thursday), 4:30 pm IST
2nd T20I: July 25 (Saturday), 4:30 pm IST

Shreyas Iyer will lead a mix of familiar faces and fresh names on this tour. Ravi Bishnoi comes in as cover for the injured Varun Chakravarthy, while Rinku Singh and Mayank Yadav are both back in the T20I fold after being left out of recent squads.
Full India squad: Shreyas Iyer (captain), Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma (vice-captain), Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Shivam Dube, Suryansh Shedge, Rinku Singh, Harsh Dubey, Prince Yadav, Yash Thakur, Ashok Sharma, Mayank Yadav, Prabhsimran Singh (wicketkeeper), Ravi Bishnoi.
Full Zimbabwe squad: Sikandar Raza (captain), Brian Bennett, Ryan Burl, Ben Curran, Brad Evans, Clive Madande (wicketkeeper), Tinotenda Maposa, Tadiwanashe Marumani, Wellington Masakadza, Tashinga Musekiwa, Blessing Muzarabani, Dion Myers, Richard Ngarava, Newman Nyamhuri, Milton Shumba.
India have historically dominated this rivalry. Across 14 T20Is, India have won 11 matches, while Zimbabwe have claimed three victories. Even so, Zimbabwe remain a dangerous home side, and India's recent struggles in the format make this series more significant than the head-to-head numbers suggest. For Iyer and his relatively fresh squad, Harare offers an opportunity to rebuild confidence, establish combinations and begin a new era with winning momentum.
