Rohit, Pant, Rahul, Bumrah to be rested for SA series; Dhawan, Pandya in line for captaincy
Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul are all set to be rested for the upcoming five-match T20 series against South Africa, with an eye on the marquee tour of England in July. Besides, the national selection committee is also set to excuse Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant from the engagements against the Proteas. It is understood that veteran opener Shikhar Dhawan and all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who has impressed one and all with his captaincy for Gujarat Titans in IPL 15, are in reckoning for the leadership role for both South Africa and the short two-match T20I series against Ireland.
