Virat Kohli's Test future has come under the scanner after multiple reports claimed that he has told BCCI that he will retire from Test cricket. The news has sent shockwaves through the cricketing world, with fans and experts alike speculating on the reasons behind this decision.
According to sources, BCCI has asked Virat Kohli to reconsider his decision, highlighting his experience and leadership as crucial for India in the upcoming tough series against England. The board is keen on retaining Kohli's services and is hopeful that he will rethink his retirement plans.
While Virat Kohli is yet to make an official statement on the rumors, reports have stated that he is yet to inform BCCI if he will make a u-turn on his decision. The cricketing community is eagerly awaiting an update on the situation.
India is expected to name their Test squad for the England series around May 23 or 24, which will provide clarity on Virat Kohli's future in Test cricket. His inclusion or omission from the squad will be a telling sign of what lies ahead for the star batsman.
Despite being one of the all-time greats in Test cricket with over 9000 runs and 30 centuries, Virat Kohli has faced a significant decline in form over the last five years. Since the start of 2020, he has struggled to replicate his past success, scoring just 2028 runs in 38 Test matches at an average of 30.72 with only three centuries.
