Ahead of the eagerly awaited five-match Test series against England, Team India faced a significant setback. A recent report reveals that Rohit Sharma and his team will have to navigate the initial two Tests without the services of the batting maestro, Virat Kohli.

After making a return to the T20I format in the series against Afghanistan, Virat Kohli has decided to opt out of India’s upcoming Test series against England due to personal reasons. Despite a decent performance against Afghanistan, Kohli is scheduled to rejoin the Indian squad after the first two matches.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has officially confirmed Virat Kohli’s absence from the Indian squad for the upcoming Test series against England. The cricket board expressed its full support for the former India captain’s decision.
