    India's all-format captain Rohit Sharma, senior batter Virat Kohli, and pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah have been rested from the T20I series against South Africa.

    KL Rahul, who led India in the ODI series against South Africa earlier this year, will spearhead in Rohit's absence.

    While batter Rishabh Pant has been named the vice-captain, all-rounder Hardik Pandya returns to the T20I squad.

    Additions

    Uncapped fast bowlers Umran Malik and Arshdeep Singh have received their maiden national call-ups.

    Umran, who represented Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2022, has been the talk of the town due to his searing deliveries.

    Meanwhile, Arshdeep (Punjab Kings) grabbed eyeballs with his phenomenal spells in the death overs.

    The T20I squad also includes youngsters Ruturaj Gaikwad, Venkatesh Iyer, Ravi Bishnoi, and Avesh Khan.

    As stated, the BCCI also announced the squad for the fifth Test between England and India (2021 series: India lead 2-1), which was rescheduled to July 2022 owing to COVID-19 scare.
