Virat Kohli tells BCCI he wants to retire from Test cricket:

Virat Kohli has told the Indian cricket board that he wishes to retire from Test cricket, but top officials have asked him to reconsider the decision, The Indian Express has learnt.

“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,” sources told this newspaper.

Kohli’s decision comes on the back of Rohit Sharma’s Test retirement a couple of days ago. India’s selectors are set to meet in a few days to pick the team for the five-Test series in England next month.

BCCI has urged Virat Kohli to have a rethink as the crucial tour of England is coming up; If Kohli doesn’t change his mind, and with Rohit Sharma out of the picture, it will leave the Indian team with a largely inexperienced middle-order.
