Selectors picked the Indian squad for final two ODIs and first two Tests in Delhi on Monday.

India’s primier spinner Ravichandran Ashwin was not included in the squad as the off-spinner continues to recuperate from a side-strain.

The selectors also made a lone change in the ODI squad as Umesh Ydav was dropped. Karnataka pacer Sreenath Aravind will fill in for him.

India will play South Africa in the fourth ODI in Chennai on Thursday. While the first Test starts in Mohali on November 5.
