Experienced pacer Anrich Nortje will miss the ODIs as well after being left out of the Tests due to a hip injury. Wayne Parnell, Sisanda Magala and Zubayr Hamza also retained their spots in the squad, which also includes former skipper Quinton de Kock, who retired from Test cricket following the loss in the first Test against India.

“This is a very exciting group and the selection panel and I are eager to see what they will produce,” CSA convenor of selectors, Victor Mpitsang said.

“For many of our players, it does not get bigger than playing against this powerhouse Indian team and this will be the biggest series of their young lives so far.

“We are looking forward to seeing what they bring to the table and wish Temba (Bavuma) and (coach) Mark (Boucher) all the best for the series,” he added.

Proteas squad:

Temba Bavuma (captain), Keshav Maharaj (vice-captain), Quinton de Kock, Zubayr Hamza, Marco Jansen, Janneman Malan, Sisanda Magala, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Lungi Ngidi, Wayne Parnell, Andile Phehlukwayo, Dwaine Pretorius, Kagiso Rabada, Tabraiz Shamsi, Rassie van der Dussen, Kyle Verreynne
