The original wedding date clashed with Rinku Singh’s professional commitments. India will tour Australia between October 19 and November 8 for three ODIs and five T20Is. They are then set to host South Africa for an all-format series, starting with two Tests (November 14–18 and 22–26) and continuing with three ODIs from November 30.
Rinku is not part of India’s ongoing five-Test series against England, as he is yet to debut in red-ball cricket. However, his white-ball commitments keep him fully occupied. Known for his finishing prowess in T20 cricket, Rinku has become a crucial part of India’s limited-overs setup and was also the first player retained by Kolkata Knight Riders ahead of IPL 2025.
