Ind vs Eng: BCCI To Announce Team For Last 3 Games, Suspense Continues Over Virat Kohli Return

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is likely to announce the Indian squad for the last three test matches against England on Tuesday. According to the reports, the senior men's selection committee led by former cricketer Ajit Agarkar will churn over the names, if Virat Kohli requests to continue his leave. The selection committee has already added Sarfaraz Khan, Sourabh Kumar, and Washington Sundar in place of injured KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja.

While, KL Rahul's complaint of pain in his right quadriceps is not a big reason to worry, but Jadeja's hamstring injury could be a big reason to worry as he might stay out of the team for a longer period. Reports said that BCCI's medical assistant teams are monitoring both closely.

The second test of the five-match series between India and England will take place at the Dr. Y.S. Rajashekar Reddy ACA-VDCA International Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam from February 2 to 6.

The opening match was not less than any shocker for Rohit Sharma and company as visitors marked a 28-run victory at Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. The team and fans surely missed its strongest batsman, Virat Kohli, who decided to miss the series at the eleventh hour.

Earlier, while announcing Virat Kohli's decision to opt-out, the BCCI shared a press release stating Kohli would miss the first two matches following some personal reasons. ViratmKohli made the decision to miss the first two test after discussing it with captain Rohit Sharma, the press release added.

The cricketer is also not active on social media platforms and there has been no update on his return for the last three matches.
