India T20I Squad against South Africa Live Updates: The Indian men’s cricket team will face South Africa in a five-match T20I series. The five 20-over matches are scheduled to happen in Cuttack, Mullanpur, Dharamsala, Lucknow and Ahmedabad on December 9, 11, 14, 17 and 19, respectively. The BCCI senior men’s selection committee, which is headed by Ajit Agarkar, is all set to announce India’s squad for the house series in the approaching days. It can be interesting to see if Shubman Gill, who has been out of motion since November 15 resulting from a neck injury, is picked for the series against the Proteas. If Gill isn’t regarded as a precautionary measure, then the Indian selectors are more likely to include Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Star all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who missed the Asia Cup 2025 final and five-match series in Australia, can be set to make a comeback in India’s T20I team after proving his fitness on Tuesday within the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy match against Punjab in Hyderabad.
