Shikhar Dhawan part of the ODI squad to tour South Africa

Shikhar Dhawan has been named in India's ODI squad to tour South Africa for a 3-match series. Incidentally, Dhawan was India's captain in their previous ODI series, when he led the team to a 2-1 series win in Sri Lanka in July 2021.

KL Rahul has been named India's captain for the one-dayers in the absence of regular skipper Rohit Sharma, who has been ruled out with injury. Jasprit Bumrah will be Rahul's deputy for the series.

The first ODI will be played at Boland Park in Paarl on January 19, while the second game will take place at the same venue on January 21. The Newlands Stadium in Cape Town will host the final game on January 23.

Prior to the ODI series, India will play South Africa in the 3rd and final Test of the series in Cape Town starting Tuesday (January 11). The series is level at 1-1 with India having won the first Test and South Africa the second.
