The highly anticipated T20 series between India and South Africa is scheduled to begin on November 8, 2024.

Both fast bowlers make their return after recovering from injuries, joining teammates Heinrich Klaasen, Keshav Maharaj, and David Miller, who are also back in the lineup. Additionally, all-rounder Mihlali Mpongwana, 24, earns his first call-up after being one of the top wicket-takers in this season’s CSA T20 Challenge, claiming 12 wickets at an average of 14.08.
