India in SA | ‘Not told before replaced as ODI skipper’: Kohli

I have not had any communication with the BCCI saying I want to rest from one-day series, says Kohli

Contrary to the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI’s) version, India Test captain Virat Kohli has said he was neither asked to remain as T20I captain in September nor was he informed before being replaced as the ODI skipper last week.

“I was contacted one-and-a-half hours before the selection meeting on Dec. 8 for the Test series,” Kohli said on Wednesday ahead of India’s departure for South Africa. “There was no prior communication to me at all from when I announced the T20I captaincy decision until the 8th (Dec.) when I got a call before the selection meeting.
