India tour of South Africa under the radar following the entrance of new Covid variant in South Africa.



India tour of South Africa: Following the detection of a new Covid-19 variant, India tour of South Africa for all format series has come under the radar and considerable concerns have risen. India is due to visit the Rainbow nation in the coming month for a seven-week long assignment.



South Africa will host India for three Test matches, three ODIs and four T20Is that are scheduled over four venues - Johannesburg, Centurion, Paarl, and Cape Town.



The new covid-19 variant has wreaked havoc in the northern part of South Africa and could be dangerous as per the recent reports. Scientists believe that this new variant (B.1.1.529) is more resistant to the vaccine and is more transmissible.



As the covid outburst is predominantly in the Northern part of South Africa, the officials will have to be extremely careful as both India and South Africa are scheduled to play two test matches in Johannesburg and Pretoria (near Centurion).



There could be some change in the quarantine rules as far as South Africa is concerned. The country may impose a week-long hard quarantine upon the arrival and the teams will remain in bio bubbles.



"Look, till we get a detailed picture of the ground situation from Cricket South Africa (CSA), we will not be able to tell our next step. As per the current plan, the Indian team is supposed to leave either on December 8 or 9 just after the New Zealand series gets over in Mumbai," a senior BCCI official told PTI on Friday.

India A is currently touring South Africa for two unofficial test matches series. A PTI official contacted an administrator who is currently with India A squad.



"We didn't undergo any hard quarantine on arrival over here since we came by charter flight and are staying in a bio-bubble. After the outbreak, a medical team from Cricket South Africa had a meeting with our representatives over here,? said the BCCI administrator who is with India A squad.



"We were told that there is nothing to worry since the spike in cases is far away from Bloemfontein where we would be playing our next match too," the official said over phone.



India?s tour to South Africa will begin with a test series commencing on December 17th. Following the completion of the longest format series, South Africa and India will lock horns in the ODI series followed by the T20I series.

Team India to begin South Africa tour on December 16, bio-bubble for 44 days.



India tour of South Africa: Team India?s tour of South Africa for three Test matches and as many ODIs is slated to begin on 16th December, as the cricketers will board a charter flight for the Rainbow Nation.



Before heading to South Africa, the cricketers and Indian management has been asked to undergo a strict four days quarantine in Mumbai.&nbsp;



India and South Africa will begin the tour with a test series on December 26th followed by the three matches ODI series. Earlier, four T20Is were also part of the tour, but the schedule was later revised to ensure the player's safety amid the new scare of the Omicron variant of coronavirus.



The tour will run for 44 days and the players will remain in strict isolated conditions until the tour end. Players playing test format will end their campaign eight days before the players who are part of both test and ODI squad.



The penetration of the Omicron variant of coronavirus in the Southern part of Africa has led to several series deferments. The ICC Women?s World Cup qualifiers were cancelled because of the scare of covid-19 in Zimbabwe.



The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) recently revealed India?s test squad for the tour of South Africa.?

Moreover, Shreyas Iyer, Jayant Yadav and Mohammad Siraj have been awarded a test slot following their brilliant show in the recently concluded India vs New Zealand two matches TEst series.



In the major development, Rohit Sharma has been appointed team India?s new Test vice-captain along with the captain of ODI and T20I sides.

India tour of South Africa: Rohit Sharma injured and ruled out of Test series against South Africa.



India tour of South Africa: Team India?s newly appointed test vice-captain Rohit Sharma has been injured and ruled out of the three matches test series against South Africa, starting December 26. Gujrat batsman Priyank Panchal has been roped in as the replacement for the senior opener.



As per the report of Cricbuzz, it has been learnt that for the last one week, Rohit has been practising in Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai. He suffered a serious injury while having those practice sessions.



The reports further revealed that the Indian cricket board has not named any stand-in test vice-captain as of now. The BCCI is soon likely to make a formal announcement on the same.



Priyank Panchal recently led India A against South Africa A in three unofficial test matches. The opener batter scored 120 runs in the tour at an average of 40.

The blow to Rohit Sharma will be a concern for the BCCI as he has been recently appointed leader of the Indian white-ball team. He was about to lead India for the first time in ODIs against South Africa after becoming a full-time captain.



Team India is scheduled to play three Test matches followed by three ODI matches in South Africa. The tour will begin on December 26.



Moreover, Rohit?s absence in Test format will be a massive blow for the Indians. He is the leading run-getter for India in 2021 in Test matches with an average of over 40. Wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant is the only other batsman in 2021 who has an average of 40 or above in tests. 



The BCCI had rested Rohit Sharma from the recently concluded two matches test series against New Zealand as a part of his workload management.

Ajinkya Rahane will struggle to find a place in playing11 during the South Africa test series: Aakash Chopra.



India tour of South Africa: Former Indian cricketer Aakash Copra reckons Ajinkya Rahane will find it tricky to get a place in India?s test playing11 against South Africa. He further said that with KL Rahul being appointed the team?s vice-captain, Rahane will get a difficult time fetching his place.



The dynamics inside team India?s dressing room have changed drastically over the last couple of weeks. There has been some heat going on between the current red ball captain Virat Kohli and the BCCI over the ODI captaincy issue. However, the team is doing its every bit to win the upcoming test series in South Africa for which KL Rahul has been appointed vice-captain of the side as Rohit will be missing the test series owing to his hamstring injury.



The South Africa vs India three matches Test series will begin on December 26th at SuperSport Park Centurian.

?KL Rahul has been appointed as India?s Test vice-captain (for the South Africa series) as Rohit Sharma is injured. Rahul Dravid is the coach, Rohit is the captain of white-ball formats,? said Aakash Chopra in a video shared on Koo.



Ajinkya Rahane might find it difficult to find a place in the XI. He was captain just a couple of Test matches ago but right now he?s not even the vice-captain. Things are changing in Indian cricket,? added Chopra.



Rahane, who led India a few weeks ago against New Zealand, is enduring an extended pale phase in his career. He has scored just two half-centuries and a century in his last 16 test matches. Moreover, his average (24.39) has dropped drastically signalling alarming signs ahead for the cricketer.

South African pacer Anrich Nortje ruled out of three test matches against India.



SAvsIND: In a massive blow to the South African bowling lineup, pace gun Anrich Nortje has been ruled out of the upcoming three matches test series against India following a ?persistent? injury, Cricket South Africa (CSA) informed on Tuesday.



Though the cricket board didn?t specify the nature or the seriousness of the injury, reports suggest that Anrich Nortje will remain unavailable for the three matches ODI series.



The South Africa vs India three matches test series will begin on Boxing Day (26th December) in SuperSport Park Centurian.



"Proteas bowler, Anrich Nortje, has been ruled out of the three-match, Betway Test series against India, due to a persistent injury," CSA said in a statement.

</div></figure>



CSA further in the statement specified that it won?t add any replacement for the pacer in the test squad.



"He has unfortunately not recovered adequately for the expected Test match bowling loads and is currently consulting with specialists to manage and advise on his recovery. No replacement will be brought in," it added.



It is noteworthy that Anrich Nortje has featured in 12 test matches for his national side South Africa in which he has scalped 47 wickets including three five-wicket hauls.



In the absence of Nortje, the South African pace attack seems to be a little underwhelming. Moreover, his compatriot Kagiso Rabada?s form in the red-ball format has taken a dip in the recent past. However, it will be interesting to see how Rabada adjusts with his line and lengths in the upcoming test series.

All three matches are the part of ICC World Test Championship and will be of utmost priority as India take on the Protea to turn the pages of one-sided history. South Africa has never lost to India in a Test series on their own soil.

Virat Kohli back for the decisive test, Ishant Sharma to replace injured Mohd Siraj: Indian test skipper Virat Kohli is likely to return back to the field of cricket for the decisive third test match against South Africa in Newlands, Cape Town. Kohli missed the second test match after suffering an upper back spasm ahead of the match.



In Kohli?s absence, India lost the second encounter and levelled the series. However, for the series decider, King Kohli will be back in the bull ring, charging along with his troops to conquer South African soil for the first time in history.



As a sign of indication, Kohli was seen practising in Cape Town along with his teammates, as BCCI shared images on its various social media handles.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/BCCI/status/1480155418299043841
</div></figure>



The question will be, who must be dropped in order to bring in Virat Kohli?&nbsp;



The test mainstay of team India, Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara, seems to have provided oxygen to their dried up cricketing lungs. Their counter-attacking knocks in the second innings might have given them a slight hope to keep their test career alive. Though the knocks were not sufficient to fetch victory for the team India, but they were enough to support their old careers.

Hanuma Vihari would be pretty unfortunate if he gets dropped out of the team. He did extremely well with his gritty innings of unbeaten 40 runs to take India?s lead a bit further.&nbsp;



Head coach Rahul Dravid, earlier, said that Hanuma Vihari and Shreyas Iyer must wait for their turn, which clearly gives an indication of the near future.



The fans will be hoping to see some blitz from Virat?s sword this time. His long-standing 71st century will be anticipated as he walks down to bat at number 4 in the third test match tomorrow.



<h2>Ishant Sharma likely to replace Mohd Siraj:</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/01/Mohammad-Siraj-injured-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-82685" /><figcaption>Mohammad Siraj pulled his hamstring while bowling in the second test match against South Africa. Image source: Twitter</figcaption></figure>



Meanwhile, team India may be forced to execute another change in the playing11. Young pacer Mohammad Siraj pulled his hamstring during the second match and is likely to get sidelined owing to his injury.



India will have the option to include either Umesh Yadav or Ishant Sharma in Siraj?s place. Virat Kohli might prefer the tall pacer services for the final test match.&nbsp;



The third test match between South Africa and India is slated to be held in Newlands, Cape Town, starting January 11th.

SA vs IND 3rd Test: Virat Kohli back for the decisive test, Ishant Sharma to replace injured Mohd Siraj

virat-kohli-back-for-the-decisive-test-ishant-sharma-to-replace-injured-mohd-siraj

The India VS SA contest was a roller-coaster ride. India and SA locked horns like never before, and the game went down to the wire. The South African pacers had the last laugh, and the Indian batters struggled big time. However, there is always a learning curve associated with such cases. What are the top 3 lessons from the India VS SA game in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022:?



<h2>India VS SA, Indian Openers are Struggling:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/10/KL-Rahul-min-2.jpg" alt="India VS SA" class="wp-image-96754" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: The Indian Express</figcaption></figure>



The Indian Openers are struggling. KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma cannot live up to their expectations. Rohit Sharma did have a good game against the Netherlands, but it was a weaker opposition. If we were to ask Rohit himself, he would have liked to take apart the South African bowling instead of the Dutch. Also, the Perth pitch had something that Rohit loves to deal with, bounce it is! ?



KL Rahul on the other hand is not having a good time on the pitch. He is under immense scrutiny. His performance in the IPL gets him a ticket to the ICC T20 World Cup but his international performance has dropped. He is struggling to time the in-swinging delivery. ?



<h2>SA Might Have Qualified for Semi-Finals:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/10/Kagiso-Rabada-min-2.jpg" alt="India VS SA" class="wp-image-96755" /><figcaption>Rabada also bowled exceptionally well in the game against India. IMG SRC: The Indian Express</figcaption></figure>



The South African team has booked their berth in the semi-finals after the India VS SA contest. India will now have to win all their remaining contests. India will play Bangladesh and Zimbabwe next. Both the opponents are relatively mediocre if we are to compare on-paper potential and both these games seem an easy victory for the men in blue. SA, on the other hand, has a good chance of ending as table toppers. They will have to beat Pakistan. But even if they do not, they will still go through.?



<h2>India VS SA, Indian Bowling has started to fire:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2022/10/arshdeep-min-1.webp" alt="India VS SA" class="wp-image-96753" /><figcaption>IMG SRC: Punjab Kings</figcaption></figure>



The biggest positive for India after the India VS SA game is that the Indian bowling has started firing. Arshdeep Singh is reaping the best of revenues. The investment in him has come to the party. Mohammed Shami is also bowling very well. Ravichandran Ashwin is also getting his job done. All-in-all the Indian bowling lineup is working as a team to settle as a bowling unit. The death overs too do not look like a point of concern. ?

India VS SA: 3 Lessons from the India VS SA Game in ICC T20 World Cup 2022. &nbsp;

india-vs-sa-3-lessons-from-the-india-vs-sa-game-in-icc-t20-world-cup-2022

RSA vs IND, 1st T20I: Team India is in terrific form under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav. In the recently concluded 5-match T20i series, the Men in Blue defeated Australia 4-1. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad have helped India get off to some quick starts in the first six overs, and they will seek to do the same against South Africa.



Rinku Singh has excelled as a finisher for the Indian side and will look to do so again against the Proteas. The No. 1 T20I batter in the world and Skipper Surya were good with the bat in the first three matches vs. Australia, but he struggled in the last two matches of the five-match series, so he would want to get some runs under his belt. Shreyas Iyer was in the best form of his life at No. 4 in the recently concluded ODI World Cup and even scored a 50 in the 5th T20I against Australia, so he would be looking to continue his rich vein of form.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/12/Rinku-Singh-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-123229" /></figure>



Ravi Bishnoi, the world's No. 1 T20I bowler, will be trying to challenge the South African hitters with his spin. Mukesh Kumar has been excellent with the ball for India, particularly in the death overs, and he would like to maintain his good form. Arshdeep was a costly bowler in the series against Australia, and he'd want to deliver some economic spells against the South Africans. Deepak Chahar may not play in the T20s due to his father's recent brain stroke, but he may play in the ODIs.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/12/Ravi-Bishnoi.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-123430" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Ravi Bishnoi </figcaption></figure>



The first Twenty20 International against India on December 10 will be the first match the Proteas will play since their semi-final loss to Australia in the ODI World Cup; therefore, they will be hoping to develop a side capable of winning their first ever T20 World Cup.

RSA vs IND, 1st T20I: Players to Watch out For | India Tour of South Africa

rsa-vs-ind-1st-t20i-players-to-watch-out-for-india-tour-of-south-africa

RSA vs IND T20I: South Africa have copped a blow to their upcoming T20I campaign against India with an injury to the senior pacer, Lungi Ngidi. The speedster has been ruled out of the three-match T20I series between South Africa and India after suffering an ankle sprain.



South Africa and India are scheduled to lock horns for the first of the three-match T20I series on Sunday (December 10) in Durban. The second and third fixtures of the RSA vs IND T20I series will be held in Gqeberha and Johannesburg on December 12 and 14 respectively. 



Lungi Ngidi suffered an ankle sprain on his left leg which resulted in him keeping him out of the upcoming South Africa vs India contest. The injury concern also cast doubts on his participation in the forthcoming South Africa vs India two-game Test series. 



The absence of Ngidi has become a headache for the Proteas, who are already short on their lineup. Regular pacer Kagiso Rabada has been rested for the T20I series against India while Anrich Nortje is unavailable for selection due to his injury concerns.



The South African Cricket Board has subsequently drafted in Beuran Hendricks, who last played a T20I game in 2021, as a replacement for Lungi Ngidi. 



Beuran Hendricks will join the bandwagon of Ottniel Baartman, Nandre Burger, Gerald Coetzee and Lizaad Williams, who are fairly young to the senior South African side. 



In his 19 T20I appearances in T20I, after making his debut in 2014, Beuran Hendricks has scalped 25 wickets with an expensive economy of 9.19. The left-arm seamer has a four-wicket haul to his name as well. His last T20I assignment came against Ireland in 2021 where he returned wicketless.



Below is the complete schedule for the RSA vs IND T20I series along with the playing squads of South Africa and India.

NZ vs PAK: The fifth T20I between New Zealand and Pakistan will be played on 26 March at Wellington’s Sky Stadium, which has hosted 22 T20Is—10 won batting first, 12 chasing. The average first-innings score is 153, but high totals like NZ’s 219/6 and successful chases like Australia’s 216 show it can be a batting-friendly ground. Key performers here include Martin Guptill (453 runs) and Ish Sodhi (17 wickets). With chasing slightly favored and spinners often influential, the match could hinge on whether Pakistan’s batters or New Zealand’s home advantage proves decisive.
