Gautam Gambhir will not go on the South Africa tour with Team India?
The Indian team has to tour South Africa next month. During this time the team will play a four-match T20 series. Team India has been announced for this series. However, the schedule of the Indian team will be very busy during this time. On one hand, while Team India will be busy playing Tests against New Zealand, on the other hand a team will be touring South Africa. For this tour, the BCCI has selected players who do not play Tests, which will be led by Suryakumar Yadav. However, there was a lot of curiosity among the fans about how head coach Gambhir would go to South Africa just two days after the end of the New Zealand tour. Now a big update has come out regarding this. Actually, not Gambhir, but VVS Laxman can be sent to South Africa with the Indian team.
Laxman will be the interim coach of the Indian team
According to media reports, Laxman will be the coach of the Indian team on the African tour. At the same time, Gautam Gambhir will travel to Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after the series against New Zealand. Four T20 International matches will be played between India and South Africa in Durban, Gqebarha, Centurion and Johannesburg. The first T20 will be played on November 8, the second T20 on November 10, the third T20 on November 13 and the fourth T20 on November 15. The team going on the South Africa tour will leave around November 3, while the team going on the Australia tour is expected to leave on November 10-11.
