Captain Virat Kohli has been left out of India's 16-man squad for the Asia Cup one-day international tournament.
Rohit Sharma will lead the side instead of Kohli, who is being rested for the six-team, two-week long tournament staged in the United Arab Emirates from September 15.
It's no surprise Kohli has been given a break given he captains India in all formats and has been the standout player for his side in the see-sawing ongoing Test series in England.
India squad: Rohit Sharma (c), Shikhar Dhawan (vc), KL Rahul, Ambati Rayudu, Manish Pandey, Kedar Jadhav, MS Dhoni (wk), Dinesh Karthk, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, Khaleel Ahmed, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah
