On Sunday, India announced their 15-member squad that will take on South Africa in the upcoming home series. 

Hardik Pandya, Shikhar Dhawan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar returned to the squad after recovering from their respective injuries. 

Kedar Jadhav was dropped from the squad while Mohammed Shami was also not included in the squad announced by Sunil Joshi-led selection panel on Sunday.

Rohit Sharma, India's vice-captain in the limited overs format, was kept out of the mix with the limited overs vice-captain still recovering from a calf injury he suffered during the fifth T20I of the New Zealand tour at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui.
