Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan part of ODI squad for South Africa series
India are set to play South Africa in a three-match ODI series from January 19 at the Boland Park in Paarl. The series is part of the 2020-2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League. India have automatically qualified for the Cricket World Cup in 2023 by virtue of being the hosts.
Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan are both a part of India's ODI squad for the series against South Africa. The team will be led by KL Rahul in the absence of regular skipper Rohit Sharma who is out due to an injury.
Fast-bowler Jasprit Bumrah will be KL Rahul's deputy for the one-dayers. India will be keen to leave South African shores with a trophy, having conceded the Test series 2-1 on Friday (January 14).
