Virat Kohli not asked by BCCI to reconsider retirement? Report makes bold “personal” claim ...Middle East

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has reportedly dubbed Virat Kohli’s decision to retire from Tests as personal and has no plans to convince him. Last week, reports claimed that the former Indian captain had informed the board that he wishes to retire from the longest format of the game before the England series. While other reports claimed that the BCCI has asked Kohli to reconsider his decision and that a popular player has been asked to convince him, a new one claims so otherwise.

As per Dainik Jagaran, a BCCI official claimed that the BCCI does not convince any player about their decision as it was their personal choice. This is contradictory to what another report had claimed earlier that the board had requested Kohli to reconsider his decision.

“The BCCI does not request anyone. A player’s decision is his personal choice. We don’t interfere in it,” Jagran quoted a source as saying.
