Suresh Raina Gets Call For T20s Against South Africa

Bangalore: After winning the last Test match against South Africa, India has announced his T20 squad for the tour. Suresh Raina has been recalled to the India squad for the three-match T20 international series on their tour of South Africa.

Also returning to the squad are allrounder Axar Patel and Mumbai fast bowler Shardul Thakur.

Shreyas Iyer was the most notable absentee in the 16-man squad announced on Sunday, while Basil Thampi, Deepak Hooda, Mohammed Siraj and Washington Sundar did not find places either.

India lost the Test series 2-1 against the hosts.

India squad: Virat Kohli (capt) Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni (wk), Dinesh Karthik, Hardik Pandya, Manish Pandey, Axar Patel, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Jaydev Unadkat, Shardul Thakur
