New Delhi: Days after India skipper Virat Kohli hit out at the cramped schedule of the team ahead of the crucial South Africa tour next month, the BCCI selection committee on Monday rested the 29-year-old batsman for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka, starting December 10.
The BCCI, however, retained Kohli in the squad for the third and final Test to be hosted at the Ferozshah Kotla here from December 2-6. For the ODI rubber Kohli's deputy in limited overs Rohit Sharma will take over the reins of the side, which has Punjab pacer Siddarth Kaul as the lone new face.
The ODI series will also see the return of all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who was given a break for the ongoing three-match Test series against the Lankans. The first ODI will be played at Dharamsala on December 10, followed by games at Mohali (December 13) and Visakhapatnam (December 17).
The 50-over series will be followed by a three-match T20I series, starting December 20. "Current India captain Virat Kohli has been rested for the ODI series," a BCCI statement read.
Squads ODIs: Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane, Shreyas Iyer, Manish Pandey, Kedar Jadhav, Dinesh Karthik, MS Dhoni (WK), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Siddarth Kaul.
