Digital Desk: The BCCI has given senior batsman Virat Kohli a 10-day break from the Indian team's bio-bubble as he returns home ahead of Sunday's third T20 International against the West Indies in Kolkata.
Kohli will not perform on fields in the three-match T20 series against Sri Lanka, starting on February 24 in Lucknow and ending on February 26 and 27 in Dharamsala.
"Yes, Kohli left home on Saturday morning, even though India had already fixed the series."
"According to BCCI protocol, all standard all-format participants will be offered regular intervals from the bubble to confirm that their workload management and mental soundness are taken care of," a senior BCCI official stated.
Later in the day, the Indian team for the Sri Lanka series would be revealed.
