In anticipation of the forthcoming Test match against South Africa on December 26, Virat Kohli has rejoined the Indian cricket team. His most recent absence was due to a scheduled vacation to London, despite initial rumors that he had abruptly left for a family emergency. His travel schedule was communicated to the team management and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), thus they were both aware of his absence from the inter-squad match in Pretoria on December 20 and 22.
Before leaving South Africa for London on December 19, Kohli spent three days training with the team. He was first added to the squad on December 15, and he is back for the important Boxing Day Test. His inclusion will give the team depth and experience while demonstrating his preparedness for the forthcoming series against South Africa.
Virat Kohli wasn’t going to play in that game.
It wasn’t anything that happened overnight or as a result of a family situation; the team management was aware of his plan and schedule. This player is Virat Kohli; have a look at him. He is quite highly organized when it comes to these matters, and News18 cited a senior BCCI officer as claiming that he planned and discussed his travel to London well in advance.
Kohli departed India on December 15th, heading for South Africa. solid three or four training sessions before his departure for London on December 19. He spent the next few days in London, where he has since connected with the test team. The official stated that it is quite likely that he will train in Centurion tomorrow.
Multiple obstacles for Team India before to the Test assignment
The Rohit Sharma-led Indian team has set aside December 24 and 25 for morning and afternoon training sessions ahead of the highly anticipated first Test of the series at Centurion. The team will concentrate on preparing for the second Test at Newlands starting on January 3 and moving to Cape Town on December 31.
Because Mohammed Shami, Ishan Kishan, and Ruturaj Gaikwad will not be playing in the series, India will suffer. Shami was not allowed to play because the BCCI Medical Team did not give him the all-clear due to fitness concerns. Gaikwad’s injury sustained during the second ODI against South Africa eliminated him from contention, and Kishan decided to take a vacation by withdrawing from the team. Those who are absent from this series will have the chance to step up and fill the vacuum in the Indian squad.
