Virat Kohli to also miss next two Tests against England: report

BCCI had announced that Kohli had pulled out of the first two Tests for "personal reasons" - AFPVirat Kohli's non-participation in the England series is likely to be prolonged, as the senior Indian batter is anticipated to be absent from the third and fourth Tests in Rajkot and Ranchi, respectively. As reported by ESPNcricinfo, uncertainties surround Kohli's potential participation in the fifth Test in Dharmasala, scheduled to commence on March 6. This aspect will be taken into account by the selectors during their meeting this week to finalise the Indian squad for the final three Tests. Remember on January 22, three days from the start of the England series, the BCCI announced that Kohli had pulled out of the first two Tests for "personal reasons". Kohli had landed in Hyderabad the same morning to join the Indian squad, but flew out the same day. The BCCI has not made any further comment on Kohli's absence since that statement, which said: "Virat has spoken to Captain Rohit Sharma, the team management and the selectors and has emphasised that while representing the country has always been his top priority, certain personal situations demand his presence and undivided attention."Head coach Rahul Dravid, after the second Test, told reporters that it’s better if they ask the selectors about Kohli.“It’s best to ask the selectors. Selectors will be in a better position to tell you as they are going to announce the squad in a few days. We will connect with him and find out,” Dravid said in a post-match presser.On the other hand, among the players who missed the second Test, Mohammed Siraj is set to make a comeback after he was rested as a precaution. The fitness of KL Rahul, who sat out with a quad strain, and Ravindra Jadeja, who sustained a hamstring injury during the first Test, is being monitored at the NCA in Bangalore.India and England will now lock horns in the third Test in Rajkot, which will start from February 15.
