South Africa and India will both be testing their strength in depth when they meet in two white-ball series, starting with a Twenty20 international at Kingsmead in Durban on Sunday.
South Africa will face India in the second of the three-match T20I Series on Tuesday, December 12, at St George's Park in Gqeberha, South Africa. The match commences at 8:30 PM IST. Following the washout of the opening clash in Durban during the India tour of South Africa, the action now shifts to St George's Park for the second game of the series. The Men in Blue are coming into this series after a dominating T20I win against Australia. Suryakumar, who led Team India to a 4-1 victory, will once again be captain for the shortest format of the game against the Proteas.
South Africa will face India in the first of three-match T20I Series 2023 on Sunday, December 10, at Kingsmead in Durban, South Africa. The match is scheduled to begin at 7:30 PM IST. Team India is scheduled to play in an all-format series against South Africa, encompassing three T20Is, an ODI leg and a Test series. Suryakumar Yadav is set to captain India's T20I team, while KL Rahul will take the reins as captain for the ODI series. Rohit Sharma, on the other hand, will resume his role as captain for the upcoming two-match Test series.
South Africa skipper Temba Bavuma and pace ace Kagiso Rabada have been rested for the white-ball leg of this month's home series against India with the duo set to return for the two Tests. The Proteas host India for a full series, which includes three T20Is, as many ODIs and two Tests, beginning with the shortest format on December 10 in Durban. "Captain Temba Bavuma and Kagiso Rabada are amongst a group of players that have been omitted for the white-ball leg of the tour in order to play red-ball cricket as emphasis is placed on the Test series for which both will return," Cricket South Africa said on Monday.
South Africa have rested batter Temba Bavuma for their home white-ball series against India this month after a poor Cricket World Cup, but he will captain the team in the two-test series which starts on Dec. 26.
Cricket South Africa on Monday named the Proteas' squads for the all-format inbound tour against India from 10 December - 7 January.

The England international scored only 190 runs in 11 matches at an average of above just 21, with one century. Rashid played two matches last year, picking two wickets. Akael played just one match, scoring 16 runs and taking a wicket. Other players released are Indian uncapped players like: Karthik Tyagi, Vivrant Sharma and Samarth Vyas.
Indian pacer Mohammed Shami ended the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 in India as the leading wicket-taker of the tournament. Shami, who had missed out on the first half of the tournament, made an entry in India's fifth league stage match against New Zealand and made an impact that a lot of bowlers have not made in their entire World Cup careers. In seven matches, Shami took 24 wickets at an average of 10.70 and a strike rate of 12.20, with the best figures of 7/57. Shami had three five-wicket hauls and a four-wicket haul in the tournament and also gained the best bowling figures by an Indian in WC history.
