New Delhi, Nov 27 (Cricketnmore) Days after India skipper Virat Kohli hit out at the cramped schedule of the team ahead of the crucial South Africa tour next month, the BCCI selection committee on Monday rested the 29-year-old batsman for the upcoming three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka, starting December 10.

The BCCI, however, retained Kohli in the squad for the third and final Test to be hosted at the Ferozshah Kotla here from December 2-6.
