It’s just over a month before India’s tour of England, and captain Virat Kohli is not at the fitness level he would like to be at. The Indian captain in all three formats was earlier in May, forced to cancel his plans of playing county cricket due to a neck injury he picked up during the recently-concluded Indian Premier League.
Kohli on Tuesday, 29 May, in a video posted on social media, said he was doing his best to regain full fitness.
“Lot of hard work going on. Rehab is on and I’m doing what I can do best in whatever I’m allowed to do at the moment,” said Kohli.
Ruled out of his county stint with Surrey CCC in June, the Indian skipper is currently undergoing a three-week rehabilitation to recover from the injury and will subsequently undergo a fitness test at the NCA in Bengaluru from 15 June.
That test will confirm his availability for the initial phase of the UK limited-overs tour starting with the two T20 Internationals against Ireland in the last week of June.
