Former Indian cricket team captain and star batsman Virat Kohli’s participation in this year’s International Cricket Council (ICC) T20 World Cup has become doubtful.

According to a report filed in ‘The Telegraph’, the Indian selection panel led by chief selector Ajit Agarkar is not keen to include Virat Kohli in the squad for the T20 World Cup as the selectors and team management believe that the star batsman has failed to meet the needs of the team in T20 format.

The report further stated that BCCI has left the decision of Virat Kohli’s participation in the mega event to Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar. India has not won an ICC trophy since 2013, prompting the selectors to aim for big and bold decisions for the upcoming ICC event.

Virat Kohli made a comeback in the T20 team in January this year after an absence of over a year. BCCI Secretary Jay Shah has already confirmed Rohit Sharma’s participation in the T20 World Cup, however, Virat Kohli’s participation is yet to be confirmed.

The provisional squad for the tournament is to be sent to the ICC in the first week of May.
