Virat Kohli pulled out of the first two Tests against England. Will he return for the remaining three matches of the series?
After announcing replacements for injured KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja for the second Test against England, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) selection committee is likely to sit and finalise the roster for the remaining three Tests. The selectors are likely to have a formal meeting on the selection for the remaining matches of the Test assignment on January 30, though the board hasn't made it official yet. Though the squad is likely to mostly remain the same, there is a big question mark on he return of Virat Kohli.
Kohli decided to withdraw from the first two Tests against England, owing to a personal reason. The BCCI stood in support with the former skipper but refused to reveal the matter that prompted late withdrawal from Virat.
The press release from the Indian board confirmed that Kohli would miss the first two matches. But, there hasn't been an update on his return yet. The talismanic batter seems to be going through a rough personal phase that has kept him away from social media as well. Whether he returns for the last three matches of the series or not, would be interesting to see.
On Monday, the BCCI added Sarfaraz Khan, Sourabh Kumar and Washington Sundar to the Test squad for the second match in Vizag, following the injuries to KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja.
