“Virat Kohli Pulls Out of the Remaining Tests in the India vs England Series”

In a surprising turn of events, former Indian captain Virat Kohli has conveyed to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the senior national selection committee that he will not be available for the remaining three Tests of the ongoing series against England. The decision comes after Kohli had initially expressed his commitment to representing the country but later highlighted certain personal situations that require his immediate attention.

The Indian Express has learned that Kohli informed the BCCI about his unavailability on Friday, coinciding with the day when the selectors held an online meeting to finalize the squad for the upcoming Tests in Rajkot, Ranchi, and Dharamshala.

In response to Kohli decision, BCCI secretary Jay Shah released a statement saying, “The BCCI respects his decision, and the Board and team management have extended their support to the star batter. They are confident in the abilities of the remaining squad members to step up and deliver commendable performances in the Test series.”

This marks a significant moment in Kohli’s illustrious career, as it will be the first time he misses a home series. Despite India’s recent success in leveling the series 1-1 in Vizag, the selectors opted to maintain continuity by making minimal changes to the winning combination.
