Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to Sit Out South Africa A One-Day Series; Pant Likely to Captain India A
Rajkot, India – In a surprising development, star Indian batsmen Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will not participate in the upcoming One-Day series against South Africa A, scheduled to be held in Rajkot on November 13, 16, and 19. While Rohit Sharma was the Player of the Series, Virat Kolhi played an unbeaten inning of 74 runs.
Sources indicate that the duo will be rested for the A-team matches, but are expected to return for the three-match ODI series against the senior South African squad later in November.
Tilak Verma is named captain, Ruturaj is the vice-captain, and Ishan Kishan is also named in the squad. The BCCI has officially announced the One Day Series team.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is expected to announce the India A squad for the series within the next day or two. Reports suggest that Rishabh Pant is the frontrunner to captain the side. Pant is also expected to return to the Test squad for the series against South Africa starting on November 14, replacing N. Jagadeesan. He is currently leading India A in the unofficial Test series against the same opposition.
While the absence of Sharma and Kohli from the A-team series is confirmed, their participation in the senior ODI series against South Africa, slated for November 30, December 3, and December 6, is highly anticipated. Their inclusion is seen as crucial for India’s preparations for the 2027 World Cup. Rohit Sharma’s recent form in Australia, where he scored 8, 73, and an unbeaten 121, further solidifies his expected return.
In other news: The India-Pakistan cricket match is scheduled for 2025, and Jitesh Sharma will captain the Indian team. The second week of November 2025 will be a special time for many zodiac signs.
