BCCI Hopes A Quick Recovery For Virat Kohli’s County Stint Cut Short Due to Injury
After the much-discussed move to play county cricket with Surrey before the tough England Test series, Indian captain Virat Kohli, is not going to turn out for Surrey at the Oval after he has been diagnosed with a slipped disc.
A senior BCCI official said, “Yes it is unfortunately true and thankfully it has been diagnosed in time and Kohli won’t need a surgery. Hopefully the rest ahead of the England series, now that he won’t be playing all the county games he was set to play, will help him recover in time for national duty.”
Earlier, it was reported by Kohli’s problem has been diagnosed by one of the best orthopaedic surgeons in Mumbai, who also warned the 29-year-old that he risks missing the England tour if he plays county cricket in June as it will aggravate his injury and has advised him rest. The doctor’s identity was not disclosed in the report.
Kohli visited the doctor on Wednesday and was informed about the details of the damage to his spinal nerve, which though is not in a state that requires surgery. Kohli had missed one of the ODI games during the recent tour of South Africa at the beginning of the year due to a neck strain.
Kohli has informed Surrey about his situation. However, the club’s spokesperson claimed that they are unaware of the situation and an official statement regarding the same is yet to be made.
