Zimbabwe cricket coach Lalchand Rajput has not travelled with the team for a tour of Pakistan after the Indian embassy in Harare requested his exemption from the limited-overs series.

Zimbabwe Cricket said Rajput would not be a part of the tour following the request from the Indian embassy. Bowling coach Douglas Hondo will take charge of the team during the tour.

Zimbabwe are scheduled to play three ODIs in Rawalpindi, starting October 30, before moving to Lahore for T20Is.
