Spinner George Linde has received his maiden ODI call-up for away series vs India. The first ODI will be played in Dharamsala on March 12. The other two-match will be played in Lucknow and Kolkata on March 15 and 18, respectively. BCCI is yet to announce the Indian squad for the home series against Proteas.
