IND vs SA: Big misses for India ft Mayank and Dube
While the aforementioned squad announced by the BCCI for the IND vs SA series features a mix of experienced and talented newcomers, there are a few big names who will be missed during the series, including pace bowler Mayank Yadav. He recently picked two wickets in two games against Bangladesh.
The Indian cricket team will also miss the services of all-rounder Shivam Dube, who has been ruled out due to a recurring back injury, which also sidelined him during the Bangladesh series. His absence is a loss, as he adds power-hitting and bowling depth to the team.
Riyan Parag is another notable omission; he impressed in the previous series but is out with a chronic right shoulder injury and is currently recovering at the BCCI Centre of Excellence.
