This special report covers the BCCI’s announcement of the Indian Test squad for the upcoming series against South Africa and highlights the return of star wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant as vice-captain. According to reports, “when Rishabh Pant got injured during the England series, it was a big blow for the Indian side because you know about Rishabh Pant’s space in the India team, you always know that everybody rates him very highly”. Pant, who suffered a fractured foot during the tour of England in July, proved his fitness by leading India A against South Africa A. The two-match Test series is scheduled to begin on November 14 in Kolkata, with Shubman Gill captaining the 15-man squad.
