The T20 World Cup, which will be jointly hosted by the West Indies and the USA, will take place from June 2 to 29.
The Indian team will be led by Rohit Sharma, as confirmed by the BCCI Secretary Jay Shah earlier this month. However, Kohli’s inclusion in the tournament is not certain, according to ‘The Telegraph’.
India’s failure to win an ICC trophy since the 2013 Champions Trophy may force the selectors to make some tough decisions, including leaving out former captain Kohli.
The report states that the selectors believe that Kohli has not been at his best in the T20 format, but that thinking may require a rethink if Kohli comes out all guns blazing in this IPL season.
The batting icon had taken a break from the five-Test series against England to welcome the arrival of his second child.
The report quotes a source as saying that “”it remains a very sensitive matter and not many (in the BCCI) are willing to get involved”, leaving the final decision to the board’s selection committee led by former India pacer Ajit Agarkar. .
Agarkar, the report says, has already spoken to Kohli, regarding the need for him to make some modifications to meet the demands of the team and the format.
