BCCI to Urge Kohli Against Test Retirement

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to hold crucial talks with Virat Kohli amid reports of the star batter considering stepping away from Test cricket. An influential figure in Indian cricket is expected to meet Kohli in a last-ditch effort to convince him to continue playing the longest format. The meeting is likely to take place ahead of the Test squad selection, tentatively scheduled for May 23. 

While the venue for the selection meeting remains uncertain, the BCCI has planned a media conference to unveil the new Test captain. Additionally, the India A squad for the England tour is expected to be announced within the next few days. The BCCI has a history of successful interventions, having previously convinced players such as Rohit Sharma to relinquish Test captaincy before his recent retirement from the format.
