BREAKING: Kohli to play in Vijay Hazare Trophy
- On Tuesday, Virat Kohli informed the Delhi and Districts Cricket Association he is available for the Vijay Hazare Trophy, which starts on December 24 with Delhi opening against Andhra Pradesh in Alur.
- Since January this year the Board of Control for Cricket in India has required players to feature in domestic cricket to be eligible for international assignments, and earlier this year Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma both played Ranji Trophy games.
- Managing workload, Virat Kohli may limit appearances to four to five games, while India's three-match ODI series against New Zealand starts on January 11 and he is likely to join camp days earlier.
- Kohli's availability is notable because he last played in the tournament in 2010, and DDCA president Rohan Jaitley confirmed his presence boosts Delhi's chances in a tough group including Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Saurashtra, Odisha, Services, Railways, and Haryana.
- With both players eyeing the 2027 ODI World Cup, regular domestic outings are now important as Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma balance the BCCI's eligibility rule with selective appearances across seven group fixtures.
