Ahead of the Sri Lanka series, Indian cricket star Virat Kohli’s letter to BCCI has shocked fans.
After winning the series against Bangladesh, India will face Sri Lanka next.
Sri Lanka will tour India in a series of 3 T20Is and 3 ODIs.
Sri Lanka series
The 3 T20 matches between the two teams will be played on January 3, 5 and 7. It has been announced that 3 ODIs will be held on January 10, 12 and 15.
It is said that the Indian team for the Sri Lanka series will be announced today. As the new selection committee did not come, the old selection committee led by Chetan Sharma will select the players for the team.
Accordingly, it is said that Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja and Bumrah are doubtful to play.
Kohli’s decision
In this case, Virat Kohli’s decision has caused a setback. He has said that he will take a break from T20 cricket matches for a while and will focus only on 50 over cricket matches and Test cricket matches.
This has revealed that Kohli will definitely not play in the Sri Lanka T20 series.
BCCI informed that 34-year-old Virat Kohli will retire from T20 cricket after the T20 World Cup and will only play in other formats.
Hardik Pandya as President
But it is said that he will return to the team during important matches.
Along with Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma is in the same situation. The 36-year-old is likely to announce complete retirement.
Also, reports have leaked that Hardik Pandya will act as the captain from the upcoming Sri Lankan series in January.
