Will selectors rest Virat, Hardik for Asia Cup?
MUMBAI: Will
play in the
or not? This million dollar question will be answered on Saturday when the Indian team will be picked for the continental tournament, which will be held in UAE this time, in the 50-over format from September 15.
Having cracked two hundreds and more than 400 runs during the ongoing Test series against England, Kohli has been in the form of his life. However, the Indian captain has played non-stop
in England for the last couple of months since returning to action after a neck injury forced him to cancel a planned stint for Surrey in county cricket. Even in this series, Kohli suffered from a back problem during the Lord’s Test.
Considering that India have more pressing engagements in Australia later this year, the selectors would be tempted to rest the 29-year-old. However, the option of facing off with arch-rivals Pakistan at least twice, and potentially in the final too, may prompt Kohli to play.
