Virat Kohli is set to have a County stint with Surrey

Virat Kohli is set to have a County stint with Surrey that will see him miss India’s historic one-off Test against Afghanistan.

But given the “more ceremonial” nature of the event, the BCCI will allow the skipper to skip the match. India will host Afghanistan for their first-ever Test, from June 14 in Bangalore.

Virat Kohli,the skipper has long set his sights on England, aiming to put the record straight, batting wise.

The County stint with Surrey in June-July, after the IPL, is believed to be part of the process. India will play five Tests in England from August 1

Virat Kohli seems to be very keen to get used to the conditions before the tour begins. Four years ago, he had only 134 runs at 13.40 in five Tests in England.
