The Indian team will not get a break after the Bangladesh series and will host New Zealand before going to South Africa. At the same time, after the South Africa series, India will tour Australia for a five-match Test series.
Jasprit Bumrah, who was rested from the Sri Lanka tour, will return to international cricket from the Bangladesh series. He may be rested for one of the home Test matches. It will be interesting to see whether Bumrah is made the vice-captain for the Test series or not. Shubman Gill has recently become the new vice-captain of the white-ball teams and he can be given this responsibility in Tests as well. Shubman is a regular member of the team in all three formats and is sure to play all the matches.
