The BCCI recently made new rules for the players of Team India. One of these rules is that it is mandatory for all cricketers to play home matches. Many star players were seen playing in the 5th round of Ranji Trophy for this decision of BCCI. But Virat Kohli and KL Rahul did not become part of their team. Both these players had decided not to play, citing injuries. However, both these players are going to play in the sixth tour. But in the midst of all this, former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has raised a big question.
In fact, Virat Kohli had decided not to play in the last match due to the problem in the neck and did not play the contest due to Rahul's elbow injury. Both these players had also informed the BCCI about their injury. But Sunil Gavaskar has raised doubts over Kohli and Rahul's injury concerns, as he did not report to the National Cricket Academy (NCA), as is necessary for the BCCI Central Contract players.
In his column written for Sportstars, Gavaskar said, 'It will be interesting to see whether KL Rahul, Mohammad Siraj and Virat Kohli, who did not play in the Ranji Trophy matches last week, will play in the next round or not. It would be more interesting that if they do not play then what action does BCCI take. Was they injured? Getting a medical certificate for injury is a children's game, and if they are injured, did they go to NCA for treatment and recovery, as Nitish Reddy was sent when he had a side strain? '
Gavaskar further said, 'Is it not a practice for the Central Contract players of BCCI that they have to report to the NCA as soon as they get hurt, and they have to be declared fit by BCCI experts. Can I start playing for? We know that these players might have opted to stay out of the earlier games due to non-non-disintegration reasons. We will soon know.
Let me tell you, Virat Kohli has decided to play in the last round of Ranji Trophy. He will play in the match against the Railways for the Delhi team. He has come to Delhi for this match and has also started practice. He is going to play in the Ranji Trophy after about 13 years. On the other hand, KL Rahul can also be seen playing in this round. Actually, KL Rahul's name has been included in the Ranji team of Karnataka. The Karnataka team has to face Haryana in Bengaluru. He too has not played any Ranji match for the last 5 years.
