Kohli's County plan dismiss due to a neck injury

Virat Kohli's plan of play for Surrey cricket club has been dismissed after a neck injury ruled him out from his County cricket participation. A BCCI media release confirmed on Tuesday, May 23.

Virat got injured his neck during an IPL match against Sunrisers Hyderabad and therefore he has advised to take rest before five-match Test series against England in England.



The BCCI medical team, after doing all necessary scans, have advised him to undergo a period of rehabilitation considering India's tough tour of England ahead.

"He will begin training and subsequently undergo a fitness test at the NCA in Bengaluru from June 15. The BCCI Medical Team is confident that Kohli will regain full fitness ahead of India's upcoming tours to Ireland and England," the release further stated.

Mind you, Virat Kohli was already skipping Afghanistan Test due to his County commitment for Surry cricket club where he had signed a contract with the club for the month of June, saying, "It has long been an ambition of mine to play county cricket and I am thankful to Alec Stewart and Surrey for allowing me the opportunity to join them during their 2018 season. I can't wait to get to the Kia Oval."



Virat Kohli had raised his concern over heavy workload in the past as well. He had said before the Tri-Nation Nidahas Trophy that, "Physically, I had a few niggles, I am just getting over those. The workload has started to disagree (taking a toll) with me a little bit. I have to be very careful about how I go forward with my body, my mind, my cricket."

The injury gave a big blow to Kohli's preparation ahead of the England tour where India will play three T20s, three ODIs, and five Tests.
