Hardik Pandya unavailable
Star all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who has been leading the side in the shortest format lately, will require more time to recover from his left ankle ligament tear. The team will be leaving for South Africa after hosting the Aussies and a more practical scenario for Hardik would be to get fit by the time the T20 series against the Proteas begins from December 10 in Durban.
