India have welcomed back Rishabh Pant into their Test squad as the selectors announced the 15-member group for the upcoming series at home against South Africa. Pant, who had missed the West Indies series recently after getting injured in England, made a return to competitive cricket by leading India A against South Africa in a four-day game.

Pant replaced N Jagadeesan in the 15-man squad on expected lines. The only other change from the West Indies series sees the return of Akash Deep, who has come in place of Prasidh Krishna.

Squad: Shubman Gill (C), Rishabh Pant (WK) (VC), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Devdutt Padikkal, Dhruv Jurel, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Jasprit Bumrah, Axar Patel, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav, Akash Deep
