BCCI shared a series of pictures on social media of the players and coach leaving for Zimbabwe.
This will be the fourth time that Zimbabwe will host India in a bilateral men's T20I series, having previously faced them in 2010, 2015 and 2016 respectively.
The team, which will be led by Shubman Gill, includes Abhishek Sharma, Nitish Reddy, Riyan Parag and Tushar Deshpande, who have made it to the national team for the first time.
The Zimbabwe tour is Gill's first major leadership assignment at the international level after being in charge of Gujarat Titans in IPL 2024, which ended with the 2022 champions finishing ninth.
Impressive performances for their respective franchises in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 have led to Abhishek, Nitish Reddy, Ryan and Tushar being included in the Indian squad for the first time.
Wicketkeeper-batsman Dhruv Jurel has been included in India's T20I squad for the first time after playing three Tests for India in the 4-1 series win against England earlier this year.
