IND vs ENG Test Series: Virat Kohli may miss the third and fourth tests
Actually, the third test match between India and England (IND vs ENG) will be played in Rajkot from 15th February. Before the start of this test match, the problems of Team India have increased. There is doubt over Team India’s star batsman Virat Kohli playing in the third and fourth test matches. According to a recent report by ESPNcricinfo, Kohli will join the Indian team only for the fifth Test match.
At the same time, fast bowler Mohammad Siraj, who was out of the second Test due to workload management, will return to the team from the third Test. KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja, who were out of the team due to injury, are being monitored at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru. It is believed that the final report from the physio regarding these two players has not been received yet, but things are looking positive.
Virat Kohli is not playing test matches due to personal reasons
Let us tell you that BCCI had given information about why Virat Kohli is not available for the first two matches of the England Test series. BCCI had said that King Kohli has been ruled out of the first two Tests due to personal reasons. After this, former South African captain AB de Villiers had revealed that Kohli is going to become a father for the second time and because of this he is not with the team.
Now it is believed to be true regarding the report of King Kohli not being available for the third and fourth tests. The board’s statement said that Virat had talked to Rohit, team management and selectors.
