Notably, all four travelling reserves for the T20 World Cup 2024 have been named for the Zimbabwe tour. Only Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson are the ones from the squad of 15 who are yet to play a game in the ongoing tournament
Gill and Avesh were released after the team finished their group-stage matches as they were unlikely to feature in any of the remaining games. As far as the newcomers are concerned, Abhishek and Parag dominated IPL 2024 with their brilliant batting.
Punjab batter Abhishek, who represents Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL, had blazed away to 484 runs while Rajasthan Royals’ Parag, the first player from Assam to be picked in the senior Indian team, amassed 573 runs.
