On Monday, Kohli was named in the squad for the three-match Twenty20 series against New Zealand and the first two of the three Tests against Sri Lanka, which raises the possibility of him being rested for the third Test against the southern neighbors and the following limited-overs series. Incidentally, the third Lanka Test and the ODI series and T20 series will be played in December, the month during which Kohli had asked for a break for “personal reasons” which he doesn't want to share.
The third Test against the Lankans is to be held at the Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi which is Virat Kohli’s home ground. The panel headed by Prasad has stressed on keeping key members of the Indian team fresh in view of the hectic schedule, and the chairman indicated on Monday that the “rotation policy will be appropriate” for the captain as well.
After the Lanka series, India has a demanding tour of South Africa at the turn of the year, and the trip to England later in 2018.
Since returning from a shoulder injury during the Test series against Australia in March, Virat Kohli has played non-stop cricket, for India and the Royal Challengers Bangalore, and before the first ODI against the Kiwis, he hinted at the need to remain fresh going into tough overseas tours. He said both batsmen and bowlers would have to be rotated in order to ensure that they don’t burn out with overseas tours, including those to South Africa and England lined up for next year which is most curial series.
