Hardik Pandya replaces Bhuvneshwar Kumar for T20Is against South Africa

Hardik Pandya is back in India’s 15-man T20I squad that will play three matches against South Africa starting September 15. His addition, in place of fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar, is the only change India have made from the T20I squad that won the series against West Indies.

MS Dhoni continues to be absent from the India T20I squad, and so does Jasprit Bumrah. Bhuvneshwar’s absence means that India enter the series with an inexperienced fast-bowling line-up that includes only 11 T20Is among the trio of Navdeep Saini, Deepak Chahar and Khaleel Ahmed.
