New Delhi, June 29 (IBNS) Ajinkya Rahane will lead the Indian team as Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Virat Kohli and Ravichandran Ashwin are among six senior players rested for the limited-overs tour of Zimbabwe in July.

The national selectors headed by Sandeep Patil decided to give a break to Dhoni, Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, Suresh Raina, R Ashwin, Rohit Sharma and Umesh Yadav while recalling veteran offspinner Harbhajan Singh and others. 

All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was dropped for his continuing off-form.

Harbhajan, who recently made his Test comeback against Bangladesh in Fatullah, returned to the ODI squad after four years. 


Also making a comeback to the 15-member squad are Murali Vijay, Manoj Tiwary, Kedar Jadhav, Robin Uthappa, Karn Sharma. 

 
Uncapped Karnataka batsman Manish Pandey and paceman Sandeep Sharma were also included. There is no specialist wicketkeeper with  Uthappa, Rayudu and Jadhav being in the squad as part-time stumpers and one of them is expected to stand behind the wickets.
