    Published on

    India opening batter Rohit Sharma will miss the Test series against South Africa due to a hamstring injury.

    The 34-year-old, who replaced Virat Kohli as India’s white-ball skipper last week, picked up the injury during a training session in Mumbai this past Sunday.

    He will be replaced by Priyank Panchal, who was part of the India A side that recently played a three-match series against South Africa A in Bloemfontein.

    The first Test is scheduled to start on 26 December in Centurion.
