Indian veteran batter Virat Kohli has conveyed to the BCCI that he wants to retire from Test cricket, The Indian Express reported citing top sources inside the BCCI. Reportedly, the Indian cricket board has asked the batter to reconsidere his decision.
“He has made up his mind and has informed the board that he is moving on from Test cricket. The BCCI has urged him to rethink as the crucial England tour is coming up. He is yet to revert on the request,” the publication quoted a BCCI source as saying.
If the report turns out to be true, it would be the second biggest retirement announcement in Indian cricket with Indian skipper Rohit Sharma retiring from the longest format of the game a couple of days ago.
