Indian Team for SA T20: IND vs SA Live Updates: Team India is currently plagued by injuries with IPL 2022 taking a toll. Concerned with the niggles and injuries, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has asked the KL Rahul-led side to appear for a fitness test at the NCA after IPL. The two-day fitness camp will be supervised by VVS Laxman and Team India physio Nitin Patel from June 5. Follow India vs South Africa Live Updates on InsideSport.IN.
“All players for South Africa series will have to assemble for a fitness camp at NCA. It’s important as many of them are carrying niggles. Harshal still has stitches and we want to make sure everything is fine,” a senior BCCI official told InsideSport.

Indian Team for SA T20: Rahul Dravid likely to be available for full series
However, it’s still not clear whether he will be available for the entire five-match series against South Africa. InsideSport has learnt that Rahul Dravid was in favour of being available for the entire SA series and then joining the squad in England on June 21 before the red-ball warm-up match.
“Rahul wants to be available for the South Africa series. The idea was that he would be travelling with the England squad with Laxman taking charge of the South Africa series. But Rahul wants to oversee everything before flying out to England. We still have a few days and the itinerary should be clear in next few days,” the BCCI official said.
