Kohli will not be playing in India's Test series against England due to personal reasons.

It has been confirmed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India that Virat Kohli, the renowned Indian cricketer, will not be participating in any of the upcoming Test matches against England. This news has come as a shock to many fans and experts, as Kohli was expected to be a key player in the series. The BCCI released a statement stating that Kohli will be missing the entire Test series due to personal reasons.

Initially, it was announced that Kohli will miss the first two Tests, but it has now been confirmed that he will not be part of the series at all. The BCCI has shown their full support and understanding towards Kohli's decision, stating that they respect his personal priorities and are confident in the abilities of the remaining players to step up and perform well.

Speaking about his absence, former South African fast bowler Dale Steyn also expressed his support for Kohli. He emphasized the importance of family and how it should always be a top priority. He even shared a personal anecdote about his dogs, stating that if one of them were to fall ill, he would drop everything to be by their side.

Kohli, who has played 113 Tests for India and scored 8,848 runs, has been a dedicated servant for the country for many years. He has achieved numerous milestones and led the team to victory in the World Cup. His decision to prioritize his personal life has been met with understanding and support from his fans and colleagues.

With the series currently tied at 1-1, the absence of Kohli will surely be felt by the team. However, the focus now shifts to the remaining squad members, who will need to step up and fill the void left by the star batsman. The third Test is set to begin on February 15th in Rajkot.

The Indian squad for the series includes Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, KL Rahul, Rajat Patidar, Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel, KS Bharat, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Mukesh Kumar, and Akash Deep.

While Kohli's absence may be a blow to the team, it is important to remember that cricket is not the only thing that matters. At the end of the day, it is about one's priorities and the people who have helped them reach their goals. As fans, let us support Kohli and the Indian team as they continue to compete in the Test series against England.
