Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja will be back in action during the upcoming South Africa tour
Given the busy schedule this season, the selectors rested senior players like Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja for the T20I series against Australia.
Bumrah will also miss the white-ball leg of the upcoming South Africa tour; he will only play in the Test series. However, Jadeja has been selected as the vice captain for the 3-match T20I series. He will miss the ODI matches but will be back for the 2-match Test series.
Team India head coach Rahul Dravid recently opened up about the challenges of touring South Africa. Here's what Rahul Dravid was quoted as saying to Star Sports:
"It is a challenging place to bat; the statistics will tell you that. It is one of the more difficult places to bat in, especially up here in Centurion and Johannesburg. The wickets do tend to do a bit, and they tend to get up and down as well."
He added:
"Every one of the batsmen will have a game plan as to how they want to go, as long as they are clear about it and they commit to it and are practicing towards that, that’s fine."
Team India's tour of South Africa will commence on December 10 with the first T20I at Kingsmead, Durban.
