Earlier in May, Kohli’s county stint was confirmed after Surrey announced his signing. It also meant that he will be missing the one-off Test against Afghanistan. The decision to play county cricket came following his poor form on the previous tour of England where he managed a mere 134 runs in 10 innings.
India will kick start the England tour with three T20Is, with ODIs and five-match Test series. Before the England tour, India will play two T20Is against Ireland on June 27 and 29, but it is yet unclear whether Kohli will play both the T20Is and one.
