Virat Kohli withdraws from first two tests against England citing personal reason


Recommended Posts

"Kohli’s withdrawal continues a chaotic build-up to the series, with England arriving in India only on Sunday night, leaving themselves just three days to get ready for the first match after choosing to base their preparations in Abu Dhabi. Harry Brook has also withdrawn, provisionally for the entire series though a return is possible, also for personal reasons, with his replacement, Dan Lawrence, due to join the squad on Monday evening."

 

Test cricket really is on its last legs if this series is generating such little enthusiasm/interest.

Exactly now is the time to get him into the side. 

Boy is in red hot form. 

 

Hopefully not Easwaran to just keep seat warm for Kohli. 

 

 

 

HAHAH delusional Indian fans- are bhai only Pujara and Rahane will be called to replace. BCCI doesnt want to groom youngsters at a younger age or before 30 to select them for the test team or they will pick hacks like SKY

The replacement should be such that Kohli should get difficult to make a comeback fot the next three test.

But knowing the team management such player would be selected that one would bother about him

 

Also there are examples of Kishan ,Kuldeep who were dropped even after great perfomances

Replacement is always needed...  In case of concussion or something. 

Yes both Gill & Kela  will start & it is a joke that Bharat will play. 

 

If Eng shocks them & wins the toss to bazball Ash Jadeja...  A Chennai 2021 repeat will be very much on.

This. Kohli has to feel the heat. They do this same stuff by giving a non performer a seat in the LOI team just to protect Kohli's place in the side.

 

Can't keep doing that.

Kohli does not need any seat warmer to justify his place in any format.Only morons think he needs some help from selectors or captain to keep his place.

 

He walks into the team in all formats.

Not in t20 anymore. He is crap there. 

In odi yes. 

In tests he is past it on turning pitches. He is good on flat wickets. Can't play swing still

He had to prove in this series if he can play spin anymore or not...  So jury is still out. 

His pathetic Pujara + Rahane esque run doesn't gives him any luxury to be called as a permanent fixture in test XI especially in Asia
