Let us inform you that Kohli has not yet recovered from the groin injury in the ODI series against England. In such a situation, his injury is not serious, due to which it has been decided to rest him from the West Indies tour. However, in the 2 T20Is against England, he was able to score only 1 and 11 runs. Apart from this, his performance in the 15th season of IPL was not special. Talking about the last 18 T20 matches, the Indian team has tried more than 25 players. Looking at the T20 World Cup, the selectors want to give a chance to everyone.
On the other hand, considering the workload management of fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, it has been decided to rest him. Before the T20 World Cup, the team has to play a few more series. Earlier, Bumrah has been rested to keep him fresh. Let us know that the T20 series against the West Indies will start on July 29, which will go on till August 7. During this time, 2 matches will also be played in the United States.
