Batsman Ajinkya Rahane will lead a second string Indian side that will play three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and two Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) against Zimbabwe at the Harare Sports Club.

The BCCI didn't name replacement for 27-year-old Railways tweaker Karn and that means India will travel with a 14-member squad. Veteran off-spinner Harbhajan Singh and left-armer Axar Patel will be India's leading slow bowlers.
