The BCCI has named India women's squads for a South Africa tour with one Test, three ODIs and three T20Is.

Smriti Mandhana will captain in all three formats. It will be her first tour as Test captain.

Jemimah Rodrigues is back in all three squads after a high-grade hamstring injury she picked up in England in August.

She returned in domestic T20s and scored a century for Mumbai before being recalled.

The tour starts with a one-off Test in Gqeberha from 9 to 12 December, India's first Test against South Africa.

The ODIs follow in Paarl, Cape Town and Bloemfontein. The T20Is are on 26, 29 and 30 December.

Deepti Sharma is vice-captain for the Test and ODIs. Shafali Verma is vice-captain in the T20I squad.

Amanjot Kaur also returns from injury, but only for the T20Is. Renuka Singh Thakur is picked only for the T20Is too.

Shreyanka Patil is dropped from the T20I squad. Selectors pointed to Deepti Sharma, Sree Charani and Prema Rawat as spin options.

India toured South Africa in April too and lost that five-match T20I series 1-4.

This is India's last international series before the ICC Women's Champions Trophy.
