Indian skipper Virat Kohli has been rested for the Asia Cup starting on September 15. Rohit Sharma (in pic) is set to lead the team in the 50-over tournament in the United Arab Emirates. Kohli recently overcame a back problem that had troubled him during the second Test of their ongoing five-match series against England. He also missed a stint with English County championship side Surrey before the tour due to a neck injury. India begin the defence of their Asia Cup crown on September 18 with a match against a qualifying team.
