Ex-India captain Virat Kohli in BCCI’s plans for ICC Cricket World Cup 2027 amid ongoing Australia tour: Report

Virat Kohli, one of the greatest cricketers of all-time, is currently in Australia, preparing to take part in the three-match ODI series against the hosts, slated to begin with the first one at the Optus Stadium in Perth on Sunday, October 19. A video of the great man has been shared online by RevSportz Global on their official X account, in which the 36-year-old could be seen batting in the nets alongside fellow ex-India captain Rohit Sharma.

Despite this, the future of Virat Kohli isn’t completely certain in regards to taking part in the ICC Cricket World Cup in 2027 since it is two years away apart from him announcing his retirement from T20Is and Tests over the past year or so. After picking him the ODI squad for the tour to Australia, chief

selector Ajit Agarkar and head coach Gautam Gambhir didn’t confirm whether he will be a part of the coveted tournament in two years time apart from hinting at the need for him to play in Vijay Hazare Trophy (VHT) for Delhi to stay in contention.
