The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Wednesday announced the squad for India's upcoming two-match Test series against South Africa, starting on November 14 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.

Wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant, who missed the 2-0 Test series win over the West Indies due to his recovery from a foot fracture sustained during the fourth Test against England at Manchester in July, made his return to the Indian side for South Africa Tests.

The 28-year-old Pant proved his match fitness and readiness by captaining India A to victory in the first four-day match against South Africa A at the BCCI Centre of Excellence Ground in Bengaluru. Pant scored 90 in the second innings as India A successfully chased down a target of 275 in a thrilling fashion.
