The Test squad largely retains the same combination as the team that travelled to England for the one-off Test at Lord's.
Meanwhile, Jemimah Rodrigues has returned to India's white-ball squads after missing the Zimbabwe series due to injury. Her return adds to India's options ahead of the upcoming limited-overs assignments.
India's tour of South Africa will feature one Test, three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and three Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is).
The one-off Test will begin on December 9 in Gqeberha. This will be followed by the three-match ODI series, which will be played from December 16 to 22 across Paarl, Cape Town and Bloemfontein.
The T20I leg of the tour will take place from December 26 to 30, with matches scheduled in Benoni and Potchefstroom.
The tour will give India an opportunity to compete across formats in South Africa as the team looks to build on its preparations for upcoming international assignments.
