Jemimah returns as India name squads for multi-format tour of South Africa

Jemimah Rodrigues has earned an international recall after the BCCI named India's squads for the multi-format tour of South Africa. Rodrigues had been sidelined with a hamstring injury sustained while representing Southern Brave in The Hundred. As a result, she missed India's title-winning Asia Cup campaign, the Asian Games, and the recently concluded home white-ball series against Zimbabwe.

Rodrigues has been included in all three squads for the South Africa tour. All-rounder Amanjot Kaur, who had been recovering from a back injury, also returns to the T20I squad. This will be Smriti Mandhana's first overseas tour as full-time captain.
