After the ongoing two-match Test series against New Zealand, India are set to tour South Africa for three Tests and as many ODIs. Earlier, the two teams were scheduled to play an all-format series, including four T20Is as well. However, it has now been learned that the T20 series will be played later.

Following the discovery of a new covid variant, Omicron, in South Africa which has led to a surge in cases, there was a cloud of uncertainty over the tour. However, it has now been given a go-ahead by both the boards with a revised date and itinerary.

As per the revised schedule, the series is set to start after Christmas. The first Test will start on 26th December in Centurion. The second and third will be from January 3 and January 11 or 12 in Cape Town. This will be followed by three one-day internationals, all taking place in Centurion.

As per reports, the selectors are expected to announce the squad for the tour in a few days. On that note, let’s take a look at our predicted 15-member squad for the Test series.
