Rodrigues, Amanjot back from injuries; Renuka picked only for T20Is for South Africa
Jemimah Rodrigues has been named in all three squads for the South Africa tour • Creimas for BCCI
India batter Jemimah Rodrigues has recovered from the hamstring injury she picked up in the UK during the Hundred and has been named in the three squads for the all-format tour of South Africa next month. The selectors have, meanwhile, dropped Shreyanka Patil from the T20I leg of the tour.
Cricinfo has learnt that with the spin options of Deepti Sharma, Shree Charani and Prema Rawat in the squad, there was no place for Patil. Pace bowler Jintimani Kalita, who made her international debut in the home ODIs against Zimbabwe recently, has also been left out of the T20I squad but she kept her place in the ODI side and got a call-up for the Test team.
Also left out for the T20Is was Minnu Mani while Sayali Satghare, who has played Tests and ODIs, was also picked for T20Is this time.
India will tour South Africa for one Test, three ODIs and three T20Is. The Test will kick the tour off in Gqeberha from December 9 before the ODIs on December 16 (Paarl), 19 (Cape Town) and 22 (Bloemfontein). The first T20I will be played on December 26 in Benoni and the last two on December 29 and 30 in Potchefstroom. India will also play a 50-over tour match in Benoni on December 6.
