According to a confidential source from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), former Indian captain Virat Kohli will not be available for selection in the upcoming 1st ODI against England due to a groin strain. It is understood that Virat sustained the groin injury during the third and final T20I encounter against England on Sunday. Incidentally, the right-handed batsman has not been in the best of forms with the bat across the three formats of the game in the recent while and this injury can be a huge blow for him. In the absence of Kohli, Shreyas Iyer is likely to be slotted in the India Playing 11 for the opening ODI against England on Tuesday.

“Virat has a groin strain during last game. It can’t be confirmed whether it happened during fielding or while batting. He will probably miss first ODI tomorrow at Oval as the groin needs rest,” a BCCI source told PTI on condition of anonymity.
