Renuka Singh Ruled Out; Kalita Earns ODI Call-Up

Assam's Jintimani Kalita joins India's ODI squad for the Zimbabwe series, replacing Renuka Singh Thakur who is focusing on building bowling volume. Series dates and location.

Assam's Jintimani Kalita has been included in India's One Day International (ODI) squad to face Zimbabwe, stepping in for Renuka Singh Thakur. The BCCI confirmed that Thakur has been withdrawn from the three-match series.

This decision stems from Thakur's ongoing efforts to increase her bowling volume suitable for the 50-over format at the Centre of Excellence. She was part of India's recent ODI engagement against Australia in March and featured in the Women's T20 World Cup in June.

Kalita, who received her first national call-up for the preceding T20Is, has prior experience in the Women's Premier League and tours with India 'A' sides. Although she did not play in the T20I series, she has joined the team for the upcoming ODIs.

The ODI series is set to be contested in Baroda from October 23 to October 28, with India having already secured a 3-0 victory in the T20Is against Zimbabwe.
