Number Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 https://mumbaimirror.indiatimes.com/sport/cricket/captain-kohli-set-for-county-stint-after-ipl-may-miss-afghan-test/articleshow/63438333.cms Now we can confirm this. Virat Kohli will play county cricket this summer. The India skipper is set to fly to England immediately after the Indian Premier League (IPL) final on May 27. Which county will Kohli be representing is not being disclosed but it is likely that it could be Essex. (This piece of information could not be independently verified). It is also a likely a few other Test regulars may also follow suit – an indication to that effect was given by Shikhar Dhawan yesterday. As is already known, Cheteshwar Pujara (Yorkshire) and Ishant Sharma (Sussex) have already signed up for county sides. Moochad and express bowling 2 Link to comment
kosingh Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Great move. Hopefully it will be more than a 1-2 game appearance, although an proper stint is obviously not possible G_B_ 1 Link to comment

Lannister Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 At the end of the day, fans ask for results. And, Dhawan will be featuring in the Test squad? Why are they going to go for an embarrassment, then? Link to comment
WC2011INDIA Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I guess Rohit can lead the Afghan test match with lots of new players in the squad and playing 11. Nair can also make a comeback. I don't want the best test bats to play that match. They all should go to county to acclimatize. Link to comment
MechEng Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 If he's playing for Essex then he's probably gonna play alongside Amir. nevada and sscomp32 2 Link to comment

YCCC Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 (edited) Kohli v Pujara at the Yorkshire seaside resort of Scarborough in June? Would be brilliant for the Scarborough Cricket Club especially if they got an even bigger crowd than the usual 6000 (the Scarborough matches are a Yorkshire tradition and gets bigger crowds than CC matches at Headingley). Unfortunately we can rule out any chance of a win from that match. No way will we bowl out a team with Kohli in it twice. Unless it coincides with your Test against Afghanistan. Not sure when that is. Just looked and the Test is 14th-18th June so both could return to England in time to play at Scarborough on 25th. Edited March 24, 2018 by YCCC Link to comment
