Mohammad Kaif gave a big statement on Virat Kohli’s Test retirement
Even before the selectors could meet to select the team for the tour, he announced his retirement from Test cricket. According to Kaif, Kohli even played domestic cricket in February after returning from the Australia tour. He played a Ranji Trophy match. Obviously, he was preparing for the England tour and beyond. But he probably did not get support from the selection committee led by Ajit Agarkar. He was given the hint that now there is no place for him in Test matches.
Mohammad Kaif was quoted by News 24 as saying,
