As speculations, MS Dhoni​ will lead Team India for the entire series. However the notable name that is missing from the announced squad is Jaddu ​. He needs to work on his game harder. However 2 new faces have been included into the T20s & ODIs. S Arvind in T20 & Gurkeerat Singh Mann ​in ODIs. However the inclusion of Gurkeerat singh Mann is thoroughly as his recent all-round ability & performance against Aus A & Bangladesh A. However, he has started his career as Wicket keeper batsman for Team Punjab in Ranji Trophy. Who can play briskly specially in shorter format of this game. S Arvind was in the corridor for past few years. However, he wasn’t fit for last few years.

Team South Africa is coming to India for 3 T20s, 5 ODIs & 4 Test matches. This will be a great series for sure!

We can hope for the best as the ranji trophy is going to begin soon in India. We can find few more talent such as Sanju Samson, Rishi Dhawan, Kuldeep Yaadav, Sarfaraz Khan etc... Lets begin the cricket once again!
