The Indian cricket team toured Zimbabwe from 10 to 19 July 2015.[1][2] The tour consisted of three One Day International matches and two Twenty20 Internationals.[3] All the matches were played in Harare.[4] India won the ODI series 3–0 and the T20I series was drawn 1–1. Zimbabwe's win in the second T20I match was their first Twenty20 win over India.[5]
In June Zimbabwe Cricket stated that the tour could be postponed to the next year, if broadcasting issues were not resolved.[6] Sources close to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) suggested that the tour would go ahead with India fielding a second-strength side,[7] with the selection committee meeting in Delhi on 29 June to pick the squads.[8] Indian team director Ravi Shastri missed the tour due to professional commitments that were agreed before the BCCI extended his contract.[9] The Indian squad was announced on 29 June as planned.[10]
Squads
On 6 July Indian bowler Karn Sharma was ruled out of the tour after fracturing a finger in his left hand. There was no replacement for him. This left the Indian team with only two spin options of Harbhajan Singh and Axar Patel.[12] Indian batsman Ambati Rayudu was ruled out of the tour after the second ODI due to a quadricep injury. He was replaced by Sanju Samson.[13]
