India Squad for SA T20 – Will Virat Kohli Rest? Following IPL, India will have four T20I series to play with the five-match contest against South Africa slated to begin in June.

This will be followed by 2 T20Is in Ireland and three in England and three more at home against Australia.

According to reports, Kohli along with most of the senior players will be rested for series against South Africa & Ireland.

“All the senior India players will get at least three and half weeks of complete rest. Rohit, Virat, KL, Rishabh and Jasprit will all directly go to England for the ‘fifth Test’ following the white-ball series. We need all our key players to remain fresh for the England series,” a senior BCCI source privy to the development told PTI on the condition of anonymity.

India Squad SA Series: Shikhar Dhawan likely to lead India in South Africa series as Rohit Sharma makes U-turn on BREAK ahead of England tour

Shikhar Dhawan likely to lead – IND vs SA T20: It is understood that veteran opener Shikhar Dhawan is all set to lead. But Hardik Pandya, who has impressed one and all with his captaincy for Gujarat Titans in IPL 15, is also in the reckoning for the leadership role for both South Africa and the short two-match T20I series against Ireland.

“The selectors have a couple of choices. Shikhar Dhawan, as he has already captained India in absence of Virat, Rohit and Rahul during last year’s Sri Lanka series. But Hardik Pandya’s impressive captaincy for Gujarat Titans hasn’t gone unnoticed. So it will be a close call,” he added.
