Parvez Rasool yesterday became the first Kashmir cricketer to be selected for India after he was named for a limited-overs series against Zimbabwe later this month.


The 24-year-old off-spinner and a useful lower order batsman was picked in a new-look 15-man squad for five One-Day Internationals in Zimbabwe from July 24 to August 3. Rasool, who hails from Bij Behara town in Indian Kashmir’s Anantnag district, rose to fame in February when he grabbed seven for 45 against the touring Australians in a warm-up match in Chennai ahead of the Test series.
