The next home series against Australia and South Africa appears to be a tightly contested encounter, despite the fact that Team India's performance in the Asia Cup 2022 did not go as expected. After their two home series against Australia, India will play the T20I and ODI series against South Africa.
The selection of all-rounders will provide Team India with its greatest challenge. India does not have many all-rounders available in the ranks due to Ravindra Jadeja's injury and the fact that his like-for-like successor Axar Patel is anticipated to be included in the T20 World Cup 2022 team. Shahbaz Ahmed and Venkatesh Iyer therefore appear to be the best choices when comparing the possibilities.
The hardest decision Team India will have to make will be the lineup to use for the ODI series against South Africa.
It is extremely improbable that India will risk playing their key players in a non-important ODI series. Therefore, anticipate that the players who are vying for spots in the T20 World Cup 2022 roster would be rested for the South Africa ODI series. This provides a strong challenge for the String B side, which will include India.
In place of Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul, Shikhar Dhawan was given the responsibility of leading Team India in the ODI series against the West Indies. Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul are expected to be rested, therefore Shikhar Dhawan should skipper the squad once more. Shreyas Iyer, who might not reach the team's final 15, should serve as the team's second captain.
Washington Sundar was recently replaced by Shahbaz Ahmed due to injury. Shahbaz Ahmed should keep his spot in the squad because Sundar isn't anticipated to recover fully from injury. India, on the other hand, lacks a strong all-rounder bench. Therefore, Venkatesh Iyer appears to be the best available all-rounder while Hardik, Hooda, and Axar are occupied in the T20 World Cup.
The choice of spin bowling may be intriguing as well. Kuldeep Yadav should be in charge of the spin for the ODI series in place of Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravi Bishnoi. Rahul Chahar should likely fill the second spinner position after him. He just received a selection for the India A series against New Zealand A, and he appears to be competitive.
Young players like Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Deepak Chahar, Ravi Bishnoi, Deepak Hooda, Arshdeep Singh, and Axar Patel might be chosen if India choose to rest solely their older players.
