New Delhi: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Friday named KL Rahul as captain of the Indian cricket team for the upcoming three-match ODI series against South Africa.
Pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been named vice-captain while white-ball skipper Rohit Sharma has been ruled out due to injury.
BCCI chief selector Chetan Sharma informed this in a virtual press conference on Friday. Sharma said “We decided not to send Rohit because he can work on his muscles. Needs to get 100 per cent fit for World Cup.”
