    What's the story

    The BCCI selection committee led by MSK Prasad announced a 15-member Team India squad for the upcoming T20I series against South Africa.

    The three-match T20I series is set to start from September 15 onwards.

    India have gone ahead with a similar squad that faced West Indies earlier this month.

    Notably, MS Dhoni was not included in the squad.

    Here's more.

    Pandya returns

    Pandya returns to the side, Bhuvi and Bumrah rested

    Hardik Pandya has made a return to the team after being rested for the tour of West Indies.

    He replaced Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the squad of 15.

    Premier fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who was rested for the white-ball series against WI, is absent once again.

    The rest of the squad is same. India had beaten WI 3-0 in the T20Is earlier.

    Selectors keep faith in T20I squad that faced WI

    The selectors have kept faith in the T20I squad that faced the Windies.

    The main focus for the selectors and the management is to prepare a settled side for the ICC World T20 in 2020.

    For now, India's wrist-spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav too were excluded.

    Washington Sundar and Rahul Chahar keep their places.

    The selectors decided to trust the same players.

    Dhoni

    Decision to snub Dhoni was likely

    As reported earlier, veteran wicket-keeper batsman MS Dhoni was expected to be snubbed for this series.

    The Indian selectors are keen to build a road map for the future with the World T20 in mind.

    Rishabh Pant will continue to don the gloves.

    It remains to be seen how the situation regarding Dhoni pans out.

    For now, he remains out.
