Ind vs Eng : Many statements are coming out regarding whether the Indian team’s run machine and star batsman Virat Kohli will be in the next two Test matches of the current series against England or not.

However, he has supported Indian cricketer Virat Kohli on giving priority to personal life. Hussain has said that players like Virat have been contributing to international cricket for more than 15 years. In the meantime, if he needs time off from the game to be with his family, he is entitled to it.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Hussain said, “Yes, it has not been confirmed yet. Whether he will play the next two test matches or not is all speculation. They will announce their team in the next few hours. There is no clarity yet on whether this will happen for the next 3 test matches or not. But this will be a shock. This will be a shock for India. This will be a huge blow to the series. This will be a blow to world cricket. This is going to be a special series. It has already started. The first two matches have been very good.”
He further said, “The game also needs to take care of players like Virat Kohli. He has been playing international cricket for over 15 years and if he needs a break from the game to be with his family, we wish him all the best. let’s give.

Hussain further said, “Even if because of this we do not get to see an interesting match of Anderson vs Kohli as we have seen in the last few years, it is still okay. But Kohli and his family and his personal life are paramount.”
Nasser further said that it is difficult to replace Kohli but he hopes to include KL Rahul in the playing eleven who could not play the second Test match due to pain.
Nasser also said, “Virat Kohli is one of the greatest batsmen of the game and any series and any team will miss players like him. But as we have seen, they have a very good group of young batsmen. I think KL Rahul can join the team for India.
