 "India cricket team")
Ahead of the home season, the Indian cricket team will be on a full-fledged tour of South Africa starting December 10. India's tour of South Africa will begin with a three-match T20 International series followed by as many One Day Internationals. The ODI series will be followed by a two-match Test series on January 7, 2024. BCCI named three different captains for the three formats. While Suryakumar Yadav will continue to lead the T20 team after registering a 4-1 win in his first series as captain, KL Rahul has been given an opportunity to lead the 50-over squad. Meanwhile, India's designated captain, Rohit Sharma, will lead only the Test side.
Why is India's tour of South Africa important?
With the ICC T20 World Cup just six months away, the India vs South Africa series gained importance as it will be one of the two bilateral series the Men In Blue will be playing.
Meanwhile, South Africa vs India Tests are important given it is a part of ICC World Test Championship 2023-25. Also, India have yet to win a Test series in the rainbow nation, and with WTC points up for grabs, BCCI named a strong India squad for the series.
