Photos: Team India Reaches South African Shores Ahead Of Test Series

The Indian Test team has landed in Johannesburg for a three-match series, starting with a Boxing Day Test from December 26 in Centurion.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Thursday shared pictures of the Indian squad at the Johannesburg airport. "Touchdown South Africa," tweeted the BCCI.

On the tour to South Africa, which was largely in doubt due to the Omicron variant of COVID-19 surging in the Rainbow nation, India will play three Tests and three ODIs as part of the revised schedule. But the four T20Is, part of the original itinerary, have now been deferred and will be played at a later date.
