This star may return to Team India squad after Virat Kohli's Test retirement

Team India star batsman Virat Kohli has reportedly made up his mind to quit Test cricket. Though BCCI tried to convince the prolific batter to reconsider his decision, it has been learnt that Kohli has been firm and he is likely to announce his retirement from the longest format of the game soon.

As per sources, if Kohli announces his retirement from Test, promising batter Shreyas Iyer may be the automatic choice for BCCI in red ball cricket.

Shreyas Iyer is not a surefire selection. He is currently not in the scheme of things of the selectors for India A or India squads. But there is a chance that preference or non-preference may change depending on whether Virat Kohli relents and agrees to be part of the squad.

Shreyas with 14 Tests under his belt, has not played a Test for more than 15 months.

Notably, veteran cricketer Rohit Sharma has already announced his retirement from Test cricket. The men's senior Test team for England tour, with a new captain, is likely to be picked on May 23.
