Vadodara, Nov 24:
Veterans Gautam Gambhir and Zaheer Khan’s names are set to be discussed when the Indian selectors meet here tomorrow to decide on the squads for the tour of South Africa, starting December 5.
Since BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel is the convener of the senior selection committee, the meeting is being held in his hometown.
While the Indian ODI squad is likely to be selected on the expected lines with almost all the members of the team playing against West Indies set to be retained, the Test squad can have a few interesting selections.
The attention will be entirely on Gambhir and Zaheer’s entry into the squad as the additional opener and fifth pacer.
Gambhir, who led from the front in Delhi’s win with a knock of 153, has so far scored 372 runs in six innings in Ranji Trophy this season at a healthy average of 74 plus. He also has a couple of half-centuries in the match against Mumbai. (PTI)
