Selectors will speak to Virat Kohli before SA series; Kohli wants to take rest ?

His lean phase continued as a result, according to insidereport.in, Chetan Sharma led selection committee will ask him to take break from cricket or he wants to continue to regain his form. Meanwhile, India will play 5 matches T20 series against SA in July on home soil.

A member of Team India’s selection committee told InsideSport, “It’s a phase every player goes through and Virat is also going through the same. He will overcome it for sure. But as selectors, we will have to think about the team first. We will have a chat with him on whether he wants a break from cricket or continue to fight the slump,”

Virat has scored 216 runs from 12 matches at an average of 19.64 in the IPL 2022.
