After the successful completion of the Australian tour of India, now it’s time for the South Africa tour.
Recently, Australia came to India to practice and check on their team before the World Cup.
Australia is also the host of the World Cup in 2022.
The Australian tour of India went well for the Indian side as they won the series as well.
The batting side of the Indian team is seen as their strong point as the batsmen were able to show their talents as well.
Whereas, the bowling side was a bit weak, but they are working on it and will look forward to fixing it properly.
The South Africa tour will be the final opportunity for them to see their strengths and work on their weaknesses.
South Africa will consist of three T-20I matches and three ODI matches.
The Indian squad, which is selected for the World Cup, will play the T-20I series and then travel for the World Cup.
