Fast bowler Deepak Chahar and young batter Ishan Kishan are going to South Africa with India A team for the three red ball four-day Test matches. Deepak and Ishan are currently in Kolkata for the third T20I against New Zealand. They will finish the match in Kolkata and link up with the A team before they leave for South Africa," a senior BCCI official confirmed the development to PTI. Deepak hadn't played a lot of red ball cricket but with his ability to swing the ball, selectors want to keep him busy. Gujarat top-order batter Priyank Panchal will lead the India A squad for the tour of South Africa beginning from November 23.
