, and Senuran Muthusamy, who have been very impressive during the tour to Pakistan. Offspinner Prenelan Subrayen has been left behind this time. Conrad made it clear that the choice is conditional, especially spin-friendly Indian tones.
Kagiso Rabada, Marco Jansen, Corbin Bosch, and Wiaan Mulder will spearhead the attack in the pace department with Lungi Ngidi on the sidelines. The experience of Rabada and the all-round skills of Jansen will be of utmost importance in the Indian conditions.

The Test series will start on November 14 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, which is one of the most recognized venues in cricket. The second Test will be the one that will take place on November 22 in the ACA Stadium in Guwahati, the first test venue in the history of the stadium.
Here is the South Africa squad for the two-match IND vs SA Test series:
Temba Bavuma (c), Aiden Markram, Tony de Zorzi, Ryan Rickelton, Dewald Brevis, Tristan Stubbs, Zubayr Hamza, Kyle Verreynne, Wiaan Mulder, Corbin Bosch, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Simon Harmer, Senuran Muthusamy, Kagiso Rabada.
Amit Mishra’s Take
As a cricket enthusiast, I am thrilled to learn that the South Africa Test captain, Temba Bavuma, is returning to the squad for the two-match IND vs SA Test series happening from November 11. With his expertise with the bat and leadership, it will be a crucial one for South Africa since he was also the one who led the South Africa squad to victory in the previous edition of the World Test Championship.
His injury that happened in England in September did not keep him out of cricket for long as he recovered quickly to be back on the national side. However, he will still not be available for the remainder of the white-ball matches against Pakistan, but will make his return with the South Africa A side against India A.
