Virat Kohli has communicated his desire to retire from Test cricket to the BCCI ahead of the big five-match series in England starting June 20, for which he is expected to be a part of the squad. It's understood that Kohli has been having these conversations with officials of the BCCI for the past month or so.

Virat Kohli holds the Indian record for most Test double centuries (7), surpassing legends like Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag, with his highest being an unbeaten 254 vs South Africa in 2019

The BCCI selectors wants Virat Kohli to continue playing Test cricket for India but the star batter is reportedly ready to ‘move on’ from the five-day format.
