Ajinkya Rahane may be snatched away from the vice-captaincy on South Africa tour, this legend may also be cut

India Squad For South Africa Tour: The selectors will announce the Indian team for the South Africa tour on Wednesday. India has to play three-match Test and three-match ODI series on this tour. According to the report, senior batsman Ajinkya Rahane may take away the vice-captaincy of the Test team during the South Africa tour. Apart from this, fast bowler Ishant Sharma, who has played more than 100 Tests for India, may be discharged from the team.

The team for the ODI series will be selected later

According to the information, the Indian Cricket Board will announce Team India for the Test series only. At the same time, the team for the ODI series will be selected later. Because the ODI series is to start from January 19 next year. Along with this, a decision has to be taken on the future of Virat Kohli as an ODI captain.

It is very difficult for Ajinkya Rahane to remain the vice-captain after 12 consecutive failures. This is the reason why he was kept out of the playing XI citing fitness in the Mumbai Test against New Zealand. If Rahane is removed from the vice-captaincy, then this responsibility can be handed over to T20 captain Rohit Sharma.

These players can get a chance

Similarly, Ishant Sharma, who has played more than 100 Tests, may also not get a place in the team, because he has not been in form for a long time. The famous Krishna and Avesh Khan along with Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Umesh Yadav may get a chance. Shreyas Iyer, Shubman Gill and Hanuma Vihari will remain in the middle order.
