I am available for ODI series in South Africa, clarifies Kohli
The Hindu
Over the last two days, speculation has been rife that not all is well between Kohli and Test vice-captain Rohit, who will not play the Tests due to a hamstring injury
India Test captain Virat Kohli on December 15 asserted that he will play in the upcoming ODI series in South Africa, putting to rest speculations about his availability and his equation with newly-appointed white-ball skipper.
"I was and I am available for selection all the time. I never communicated with asking for rest. I am available for the ODI series in South Africa, and was always available," Kohli said during the pre-departure press conference before the tour of South Africa.
"It should be asked to people who are writing lies. My communication with the BCCI on this issue has not happened that I want to rest," he added.
