BCCI announces India team for last 2 ODIs and Test series

BCCI announces India team for last 2 ODIs and Test series: The All-India Senior Selection Committee met in New Delhi earlier today to select the following squads:

1. Team India for the last two ODIs of the Paytm ODI Trophy against South Africa

2. Team India for the first two Test matches of the Paytm Freedom Trophy against South Africa

3. Boards President XI for a two-day warm-up match against South Africa.

The only major change has come in the face of S. Arvind who replaces Umesh Yadav for the last 2 ODI. Umesh Yadav had a expensive outing in the series so far, no wonder he gets to bite the bullet.
