Indian player KL Rahul has been cleared to be part of the one-day group for the upcoming Zimbabwe tour. He has been added to the crew as captain, while opener Shikhar Dhawan, who was prior picked as captain for the series, has now been reduced to the role of deputy. BCCI shared that the Medical Team has examined KL Rahul and cleared him to play in the impending three-match ODI series in Zimbabwe.
The 30-year-old Rahul has not played any cricket for India since the white ball series against West Indies at home in February this year. He captained the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 and, surprisingly, drove them to the playoffs. But after an injury, he has not been named in the Indian squad until now.
