Hardik Pandya has returned to the limited-overs squad after having been rested for the ongoing tour of the West Indies. He has been named in place of Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the only one change that the team management have made from the T20I squad they picked for the Caribbean tour.
MS Dhoni and Jasprit Bumrah are the other big names who are not part of the T20I squad. Dhoni, who has taken a two-month sabbatical after the World Cup, is currently vacationing in the United States, having served in the Territorial Army for 15 days.
Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal, who were also not part of the T20I squad picked for the West Indies series, continue to be excluded.
Both the Pandya and Chahar brothers again make it to the squad.
India will take on South Africa in a three-match T20I series between September 15 and September 22. The first T20I will be played in Dharamshala on September 15, the second T20I will be played in Mohali on September 18 and the third T20I will be played in Bengaluru on September 22.
The two teams will then take on each other in a three-match Test series through the month of October.
