The Indian cricket selection committee is in complete jeopardy ever since skipper Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from tests.
To make matters worse, some reports also emerged that stated that star batter Virat Kohli is also looking to bow out from the longest format of the game.
This report left everyone stunned, as many former cricketers came forward and expressed their dissatisfaction over it. Though an official word is yet to come from Kohli’s side, the selectors are facing a tough time is finalising the squad for the upcoming five-match Test series against England.
The county championship trolls Kohli:
The series between India and England will kick-start from June 20 and ahead of it, the County Championship took a brutal dig at Virat Kohli.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), County Championship posted a small video, showing some wickets of English pacers Gus Atkinson and Josh Tongue during the domestic tournament in England.
The caption of the video read, “We don’t blame you, Virat.”

The intention behind the video was to state that Kohli is afraid of facing the English pacers on English soil.
As per a report, Kohli is keen to quit the longest format of the game and has already communicated the same to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) selection committee.
While a highly influential figure in the Indian cricketing spectrum has reportedly been asked to intervene in the matter, it has also been reported that Kohli doesn’t want to change his stance.
