The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Sunday announced two changes to India’s squads for the upcoming series of England and Zimbabwe after injuries to Harshit Rana and Varun Chakravarthy.Fast bowler Prince Yadav has replaced Harshit Rana in India’s squad for the ODI series against England. Harshit has been ruled out with a hamstring injury.Leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi, meanwhile, has been drafted into India’s squad for the three-match T20I series against Zimbabwe later this month, replacing Varun Chakravarthy.Bishnoi was not part of the original squad but has now been included after it was confirmed that Varun will need more time to recover from the hamstring injury that also ruled him out of the final two T20Is against England.Bishnoi featured in the first two matches of India’s five-match T20I series in England. India did not bowl in the opening game after rain washed it out. In the second T20I at Old Trafford, Bishnoi conceded 60 runs in his four overs. He also bowled three back-foot no-balls and gave away two sixes and a four from the resulting free-hits.Varun will now report to the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Bengaluru for further assessment and rehabilitation. Harshit Rana will also join him there after suffering a hamstring injury that has ruled him out of the three-match ODI series against England.Varun had only recently returned to action during the T20I series in Ireland before playing the first two T20Is against England. The latest injury is another setback after he fractured his left toe during the latter stages of IPL 2026. He played through the injury before missing the T20I series against Afghanistan and Ireland while recovering at the CoE.Chakravarthy also struggled for form in England, taking just one wicket while conceding runs at an economy rate of 10.28.India’s updated squad for England ODIs: Shubman Gill (Captain), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer (Vice-Captain), KL Rahul (WK), Ishan Kishan (WK), Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Shivam Dube, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna, Arshdeep Singh, Gurnoor Brar, Prince YadavIndia’s updated squad for Zimbabwe T20Is: Shreyas Iyer (Captain), Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma (Vice-Captain), Ishan Kishan (WK), Shivam Dube, Suryansh Shedge, Rinku Singh, Harsh Dubey, Prince Yadav, Yash Thakur, Ashok Sharma, Mayank Yadav, Prabhsimran Singh (WK), Ravi Bishnoi
