Personal issues would keep former Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli from the upcoming Test matches against England. The first two Tests without Kohli saw India lose the opener and win the second. His withdrawal from the series came three days before the first Test, and he joined the squad but was released soon after. At this time, the BCCI requested privacy for Kohli.
Even the third and fourth Test matches against England would not include Kohli, according to the latest reports. The fifth and final test in the series may or may not be accessible to him. Kohli's first batting replacement was decided upon to be Rajat Patidar. Additionally sidelined for the Indian team's second Test due to injuries were KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja.
At Bangalore's National Cricket Academy, the BCCI is keeping an eye on Jadeja and Rahul's physical condition. Jadeja had a hamstring problem in the first test, and Rahul complained of right quadriceps stiffness. Sarfaraz Khan, Sourabh Kumar, and Washington Sundar were added to the Test lineup, while Mohammed Siraj is expected to return to the playing XI for the second session.
March 7 in Dharamsala is when the last test is slated to take place, with the fourth test set for Ranchi. On February 15, Rajkot will be the location of the third test.
