IND vs SA: South Africa's star pacer Kagiso Rabada will be giving the white-ball series against India a miss and will be flying back home to recover from a rib injury which he had suffered in a practice session before the ongoing Test series. At the same time, Anrich Nortje will be making a comeback to international cricket after 16 months and is part of their T20I team.
India will lock horns with South Africa for a three-match ODI series, which will be held later this month, and then these teams will be playing a five-match T20I series next month. Quinton de Kock, who made a U-turn from his ODI retirement recently, is also part of the team. He was adjudged the Player of the series award against Pakistan as he was their highest run-scorer, having scored 232 runs after playing in three matches, which also includes a hundred and two fifties.
But Lhuan de Pretorius, who was their second-highest run-scorer in the series against Pakistan, didn't make it to the team. Star batter Aiden Markram, who gave the T20I series against Pakistan a miss post leading the Test side, will now be leading the T20I team against India. He is also a part of the ODI team for the series against India.
Star spinner Keshav Maharaj too will be making a comeback to the white-ball team post missing the Pakistan series. At the same time, fast bowler Anrich Nortje, who last played for South Africa in the shortest format in the 2024 T20 World Cup final against the same opponent, is also a part of this team.
