December 4, 2025

Shubman Gill has been named in India's T20I squad for the upcoming series against South Africa, returning from a neck injury that sidelined him during the Test and ODI series. His selection is contingent on fitness clearance from the BCCI's Centre of Excellence, while Hardik Pandya also makes a comeback after injury. The five-match T20I series, starting December 9, serves as crucial preparation ahead of the T20 World Cup in early 2026.
