'Test Cricket Needs Virat': Brian Lara Urges Kohli To Continue Playing Longest Format
Former West Indies: Former West Indies legend Brian Lara has made a public plea to Virat Kohli, urging the Indian batting icon to withdraw his reported decision to retire from Test cricket. Lara’s message comes at a time when uncertainty looms over Kohli’s red-ball future.
According to an IANS report, the 35-year-old has informed the BCCI of his desire to retire from Test cricket ahead of India’s upcoming five-match series in England, starting June 20. However, the BCCI has not given up. Sources within the board say they are trying to convince Kohli to continue, especially with the World Test Championship (WTC) cycle beginning with the England tour.
Taking to social media, Lara posted, "Test cricket needs Virat!! He is going to be persuaded. He is NOT going to retire from Test cricket. @virat.kohli is going to average above 60 for the remainder of his Test career."
