Twice over the last week, BCCI has made changes in the squad. In the first, Shivam Dube replaced an injured Nitish Kumar Reddy, but the all-rounder was removed from the squad on Tuesday after the selectors made wholesome changes. The committee 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. The T20 World Cup-winning trio will join the Indian side for the final two T20I matches.A month later, Ishan took a mental health break and did not return to international action thereafter. BCCI had repeatedly asked him to appear in Jharkhand’s Ranji Trophy games, but he ignored the orders and later left the board members furious when spotted in Baroda training with Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya for the IPL season.
