Plessis, who was dropped from the T20I squad, was to each India today for the Test series but is now expected to land here at night. He will be leading South Africa in the Test series after being retained in the position.

Selectors, surprisingly, dropped him from the T20I squad, handing over the captaincy to Quinton de Kock. While he revealed that he is still the captain of the T20I side, the future of Plessis as T20I captain will only be clear when South Africa play their next fixtures.
