Although BCCI is in the A+ category on the Central Contract List, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will play more than 50 crickets for India.
Not only the Indian Cricket Brotherhood, but also Virat Kohli announced his retirement from the test cricket and reduced the curtain to his 14 -year red ball career on Monday, May 12th. Yes, there were some stains, but Kohli had a career, only a few players have.
The murmurs have been wandering for a few days for a retirement call. Apparently, BCCI asked him to take time for his test career, but the administration gave him time to rethink. Only a week ago, Rohit Sharma resigned and offered Adieu to the red ball format. Now, India has lost both stroke columns and basically two largest faces.
Virat retired from Kohli tests
Regardless, Kohli’s decision was not sudden. The last form in the tests implied this movement when combined with consistent faults other than stump game. During the 2024/25 Border-Gavaskar Cup, after only 190 runs in five tests, and for more than ten years, the first format dived below 50 was open. Kohli’s greatest dream remains 770 escapes, he says that he is looking for time in the circumstances.
Now the 36 -year -old Kohli seems to be directing his focus on the limited jacks, tightly on the 2027 ODI World Cup radar. However, for those who are desperate to see him in Indian colors again, the urgent question: when? Note that the T20 World Cup has said goodbye to the shortest form of the game after being part of the 2024 winning team.
When will the next game play for Kohli India?
When the test career is officially finished, Kohli can only be used for ODIs. India’s three -match ODI series against Bangladesh, which was set for August 17, 2025, was uncertain due to increasing diplomatic tensions between India and Pakistan. For fantastic fans, there is a great possibility that they will see their idols in Indian colors in the next three months.
The Bangladesh vs India series, which can be damaged due to the suspension of IPL 2025, is likely to be played as planned. IPL’s suspension will not continue for more than a week.
If the Bangladesh ODIs are not realized, the fans will have to wait until October 2025, when India’s next approved ODI series began, a high-profile tour of Australia. India is planned to visit Australia for five T20 and three ODI in October and December. This tour will follow a completely format home series against South Africa.
