India has named its squad for the upcoming four-match T20I series against South Africa, set to begin on November 8 in Durban. Middle-order batter Ramandeep Singh and pace bowler Vijaykumar Vyshak have earned their first call-ups to the national side.

Due to injuries, several players have been ruled out of the series. Fast bowler Mayank Yadav and all-rounder Shivam Dube were not available for selection, while all-rounder Riyan Parag is currently undergoing treatment for a long-standing shoulder issue at the BCCI Centre of Excellence.
