South africa tests

Mr KS Bharat: Left-handed wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan has withdrawn from the India's Test squad for South Africa series due to personal reasons. In his absence, KS Bharat has been named as the replacement in the squad.

"Ishan Kishan has requested the BCCI to be released from the upcoming Test series against South Africa citing personal reasons. The wicket-keeper has subsequently been withdrawn from the Test squad. The Men’s Selection Committee has named Mr KS Bharat as a replacement,” said the BCCI in its statement.

Kishan had made his Test debut earlier this year in July on the tour of West Indies, where he amassed 78 runs in two matches, including 52 not out in the second innings of the second game at Port of Spain in Trinidad and took five catches as a wicket-keeper.
