Jadeja, Rahul Return For India’s Final Three Tests Against England; Kohli Unavailable, Iyer Not Included (ld)
But Virat Kohli: Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul have returned to India’s squad for the final three Tests against England. But Virat Kohli will not be available for the remaining matches due to personal reasons while Shreyas Iyer has not been included, said the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
Kohli had missed the first two Tests due to personal reasons and with him not being available for the next three matches, it marks the first time that the talismanic right-handed batter is missing an entire Test series at home for the first time in his international career.
“Virat Kohli will remain unavailable for selection for the remainder of the series due to personal reasons. The Board fully respects and supports Mr. Kohli’s decision,” said the BCCI in a statement on Saturday.
