Rohit,
who
has
been
ruled
out
of
the
upcoming
Test
series
in
South
Africa
due

a
hamstring

gave
a
pep
talk
to
the
U-19
boys
ahead
of
the
Asian
Cup
beginning
December
23
in
the
UAE.
Rohit

“TeamIndia

Rohit,
who
was
named
ODI
captain
last
week
replacing
Virat
Kohli,
was
to
travel
to
South
Africa
as
vice-captain
of
the
Test
team
for
the
series
starting
on
December
26
before
the
injury
ruled
him
out
of
the
red
ball
leg
of
the
tour.
His
expected
recovery
time
is
between
three
to
four
weeks.
India
‘A’ captain
Priyank
Panchal
was
named
in
place
of
Rohit
in
the
Test
squad,
which
reached
South
Africa
on
Thursday
(December
16)
for
the
series.
The
senior
opener,
who
took
charge
as
T20I
captain
against
New
Zealand
last
month,
is
expected
to
be
available
to
lead
the
team
for
the
ODI
leg
of
the
South
Africa
tour,
which
is
to
take
place
in
January.
Jadeja
has
been
ruled
out
of
the
South
Africa
tour
due
to
a
knee
injury
which
he
sustained
during
the
home
New
Zealand
Test
series
last
month.
He
may
take
a
longer
time
to
recover
from
his
injury.
