It&#39;s always an honour to represent my country,&quot; Gill tweeted.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Out-of-form opener Lokesh Rahul was excluded while Gill was rewarded for his consistent shows with the bat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>BCCI Chief Selector M.S.K. Prasad had earlier acknowledged that Rahul&#39;s form in Tests was a cause of concern for the team and that the board might have limited-over opener Rohit Sharma to open the innings in the five-day format as well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Meanwhile, Gill has received his maiden Test call owing to his great run in recent times. Gill scored 90 and 5 in the first unofficial Test against South Africa A that concluded on Thursday to boost his chances.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pacer Umesh Yadav has also been dropped from the squad that recently beat the West Indies 2-0 in the away series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The first Test against South Africa will be played in Visakhapatnam from October 2 before the teams travel to Pune for the second Test from October 10. The final match of the series will be played in Ranchi from October 19.<\/p>\r\n",
