India vs South Africa Squads will lock horns in 3 T20Is, 3 ODIs and 2 Test matches. The sojourn will kickstart with the shortest format of the game, with the Men in Blue set to lock horns with the home side in 3 T20Is in Durban, Port Elizabeth, and Johannesburg on December 08, 10, and 12 respectively. Just like the Australia T20I series, Suryakumar Yadav will continue to lead the team in the absence of Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya.

The India squad is more-or-less the same as the one that is currently embroiled in a 5-match rubber against Australia, with notable exceptions being Mohd Siraj replacing Prasidh Krishna and the exclusion of Axar Patel who has been replaced by new vice-captain, Ravindra Jadeja.

The legendary Virat Kohli is not a part of the white-ball squads as he has requested rest.

Meanwhile, South Africa Squad is yet to be announced for three match India vs South Africa T20I series.
