India South Africa Tour 2023-24 Squad: The Board of Control for Cricket in India or BCCI announced the Indian squad for the upcoming tour of South Africa on Thursday night, November 30. Apart from two Test matches, India has to play a three-match T20 and ODI series in this tour. In such a situation, the board has selected a total of 32 players for this long tour. However, only three players have made it to the squad in all the three formats. Yes, the names of opening batsman Rituraj Gaikwad, veteran Shreyas Iyer and fast bowler Mukesh Kumar are included in this list. Let us tell you that senior players Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have sought rest from the limited overs cricket played on the tour of South Africa. In such a situation, India have got different captains for each format on this tour. Rohit Sharma will be seen leading the Test team, while KL Rahul will be seen leading the ODI team and Suryakumar Yadav will be seen leading the T20 team.
India’s vice-captain changed ahead of fourth T20 against Australia, will Shreyas Iyer get direct spot in playing XI?
Ruturaj Gaikwad has done very well in the blue jersey in recent times. As captain, he won the gold medal for the Indian team at the Asian Games in Hangzhou, while he also scored his maiden international century in the third match of the 5-match T20 series against Australia. However, his century came in a losing cause, as India could not win the Guwahati T20. The right-handed batsman has scored 458 runs at a strike rate of 144.47 in 17 T20s played so far. While Gaekwad has got an opportunity to play only four ODI matches. Let us tell you that Gaikwad is yet to make his debut in Test cricket.
Shreyas, on the other hand, has almost cemented his place in both the ODI and Test teams. He was India’s third highest run-scorer in the recently concluded World Cup 2023 with 530 runs at an average of 66.25 and a strike rate of 113.24. Shreyas is the most experienced player among the three players selected for all three formats.
