Avesh Khan, a fast bowler who has not yet been capped, has joined India's team for the second Test match against South Africa. This comes only one day after South Africa defeated India in just three days in Centurion. The beginning of the second and final test will take place in Cape Town on January 3.

Under the condition that he receives a fitness clearance, Mohammed Shami was included in the first team that was selected for the tour. However, this information did not originate from the BCCI medical team, so he was subsequently disqualified from the series.

After participating in the three one-day internationals earlier this month, Avesh is currently in South Africa, where he is staying to continue representing the India A team. Currently, he is participating in the second four-day game in Benoni, where he scored five runs in a row on the third day of the tournament.

India squad for 2nd Test: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur, Mohd. Siraj, Mukesh Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna, KS Bharat (wk), Abhimanyu Easwaran, Avesh Khan.
