Kohli, Pant rested for T20Is

Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant have been rested for the three T20Is against Sri Lanka, which starts at Lucknow on Feb. 24. 

The duo will also miss the third T20I against West Indies here on Sunday, All-India senior selection committee chairman Chetan Sharma stated on Saturday. 

Kohli and Pant will return for the two Tests against Sri Lanka, at Mohali (March 4-8) and Bengaluru (March 12-16). 

“We have already sent them (Kohli and Pant) home, so that they can get a little more time to rest. This was done on advice from the medical staff,” Chetan said. 

All-rounder Shardul Thakur has been rested for the full home series against Sri Lanka, but is available for the third T20I here on Sunday, Chetan added.
