The BCCI has already started the process of selecting the Indian team for this. As all the senior players of the Indian team have been playing tirelessly in the West Indies, Sri Lanka, South Africa Tour, IPL, etc., it was decided at the first meeting to retire them in the South African series.
It has also been reported that they have selected the proposed team for the time being.
Openers:Ishan Kishan, Rudraj Kejriwal, Shikhar Dhawan
Middle order:Rishabh Bandh, Suryakumar Yadav, Sanju Samson, Dinesh Karthik
All-rounders:Hardik Pandya, Deepak Hooda, Venkatesh Iyer
Spinners:Yujvendra Sahal, Ravi Bishnoi, Kuldeep Yadav
Crack bowlers:Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Hershel Patel, Umran Malik, Avesh Khan, D Natarajan
Who is the captain?
In this situation, the BCCI has decided to appoint either Hardik Pandya or Shikhar Dhawan as the captain of the team. The reason is that the Indian team is scheduled to leave for England on June 15 to participate in the England series following this series. Thus, it is said that Hardik Pandya and some players will take part in a few matches of the South African series and join the Indian team going to England.
Due to this, it has been reported that Hardik Pandya has been selected as the captain and now Shikhar Dhawan is to be appointed as the captain again. An official announcement is expected next week.
