Ex-Team India captain Virat Kohli will take a break from cricket and will stay back in London after the conclusion of the ongoing series against England, as per reports.
“Kohli will be joined by his mother and extended family during the break,” a Times Now report said. It adds that “Kohli will avoid cricket during the said time and will kick off the preparations for Asia Cup 2022 from August 1. Kohli is in England with his wife and daughter.”
Kohli has had a forgettable tour of England so far as he could only manage scores of 11 and 20 in the rescheduled fifth Test match and scored 1 and 11 in the two T20Is.
While the batting icon did not play the ODI series opener, he could score only 16 runs in the second game at Lord’s, which India went on to lose by a mammoth margin of 100 runs.
He would now be hoping to bring out his A-game in the decider at Manchester as India eye their first ODI series triumph on English soil after 2014.
Kohli hasn't been included in India's squad for West Indies tour.
