The Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) chief selector, Ajit Agarkar, on Saturday opened up on the Test retirement of stalwart Virat Kohli.
"Virat reached out in early April and said he wants to finish...Maybe it was time for him, and when it comes from him, you need to respect that. Both of them have earned that respect. We will obviously miss him. He is a guy who has played 123 test matches and scored 30 Test centuries," Ajit Agarkar said during a press conference.
