The Indian cricket team is set to tour England next month for a five-match Test series. Before this series, a shocking news has emerged from the Indian camp – Virat Kohli has decided to retire from Test cricket and has informed the BCCI about his decision. Although he hasn’t made an official announcement yet.
The team is scheduled to play the Test series in England starting June 20. Just recently, Rohit Sharma, also known as the ‘Hitman’, suddenly announced his retirement from Test cricket. Now, the news of Kohli’s potential retirement is heartbreaking for Indian cricket fans.
Although Kohli has shared his decision with the BCCI, he hasn’t officially announced his retirement from Test cricket. The selectors have asked him to reconsider his decision to retire from Test cricket. They don’t want Kohli to leave Test cricket just yet. He still needs to make an official decision and announcement.
India’s last Test series was in Australia, where they lost the five-match series. Kohli’s bat was also silent during that series. Despite starting the series with a century, Kohli struggled to score runs and managed just 190 runs at an average of 23.75 in the five Test matches.
Kohli’s performance in Australia may not have been impressive, but he’ll be crucial for the team in the upcoming Test series against England. If he doesn’t play, it’ll be a big blow to Team India.
Reconsidering the Decision
The selectors are not ready to let go of Kohli’s experience and skills just yet. They believe he still has a lot to offer in Test cricket. The BCCI is likely to have further discussions with Kohli before making any official announcements.
- The Indian team faces a tough challenge in England.
- Kohli’s presence can make a significant difference.
- The selectors are hopeful that he’ll reconsider his decision.
The cricket world is watching with bated breath as the situation unfolds. Will Kohli change his mind, or is this the end of an era in Test cricket for him? Only time will tell.
