Kohli's continuity in the format was questioned after his miserable outing in Australia during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy

Former India batter Navjot Singh Sidhu questioned the timing of Virat Kohli's intention to retire from Test cricket ahead of the upcoming five-match Test series in England, starting June 20.

According to sources close to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the 36-year-old stalwart recently communicated his intention to step away from the longest format of the game.

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.

"Virat Kohli's decision that he wants to retire has created a stir across the cricketing world. His intention is right, his motive is noble - that 'the old order must change, yielding place to the new'," Sidhu said in a video posted on his X account.
