One man's misfortune is another man's opportunity. 

That's exactly what happened with Shahbaz Ahmed as the youngster has been handed his maiden India call-up for the ODI series vs Zimbabwe after Washington Sundar was ruled out due to an injury. 

The all-rounder injured his left shoulder while fielding during the Royal London Cup game at the Old Trafford. 

Therefore, 27-year-old Shahbaz was rewarded for his 2 back-to-back great seasons in the IPL while playing for the Royal Challengers Bangalore. 

KL Rahul will lead Team India in the 3-match ODI series vs Zimbabwe, starting August 18 in Harare.
