India’s chief selector Ajit Agarkar has opened up on the sudden Test retirement of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, just ahead of the upcoming ODI series against Australia starting October 19. Agarkar revealed that the selection panel had initially hoped to include both veterans in India’s Test squad for the England tour. However, he confirmed that the superstar duo had already decided to step away from the longest format.

“Both of them have been stalwarts of Indian cricket. They both approached… they felt it was a new WTC cycle and, whatever people might think or not think, that is the reality. I think both were very aware perhaps they may not have gone for those two years as Test players for the WTC cycle,” Agarkar told NDTV.
