Skipper MS Dhoni will lead India in three T20 matches and the first three One-Day Internationals against South Africa in a series beginning October, the BCCI announced on Sunday.
"We've not discussed the issue of ODI captaincy as we're very happy with the way Dhoni is leading," chief selector Sandip Patil said, quelling rumours about Virat Kohli taking over.
Young Punjab all-rounder Gurkeerat Singh today earned his maiden call-up into the Indian ODI team while Karnataka left-arm seamer Srinath Aravind was a surprise inclusion in the T20 squad picked by the selectors for the limited-overs leg against the Proteas.
The notable omissions from the ODI squad were left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja and pacer Dhawal Kulkarni, who were part of the team that had toured Bangladesh in June this year.
"The same set of people will continue till the T20 World Cup, which will be held in March next year," BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur said.

T20Is: MS Dhoni (captain and wicket-keeper), Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Ajinkya Rahane, Ambati Rayudu, Stuart Binny, R Ashwin, Axar Patel, Harbhajan Singh, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohit Sharma, Amit Mishra, S Aravind.
