A busy international calendar has left little room to breathe for India’s core group. Just hours after the T20I series in Australia wrapped up with a rain-hit finish in Brisbane, Shubman Gill, Jasprit Bumrah, Axar Patel and Washington Sundar boarded a direct flight to Kolkata to join the Test squad ahead of the first India vs South Africa Test starting November 14 at Eden Gardens.
The quartet, part of both white-ball and red-ball setups, will check in by Sunday evening alongside the full South African contingent. The rest of India’s Test players, including KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Siraj, will arrive in batches on Monday, with the first full training session slated for Tuesday.
Interestingly, multiple players in the Test squad, including Pant, Sudharsan, Rahul, Padikkal, Jurel, Siraj, Kuldeep and Akash Deep, are currently part of India A’s playing XI, featuring against South Africa A. The Eden Test marks the continuation of India’s home leg in the new World Test Championship (WTC) cycle. In an encouraging series, India drew 2-2 against England earlier this year and followed it up with a 2-0 sweep of the West Indies, setting a strong base for the 2025–27 campaign.
