Virat Kohli opts to play county cricket for Surrey ahead of England tour

Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli is all set for his maiden County stint with Surrey as he has decided to skip the one-off Test match against Afghanistan to improve his game on the English soil. India will tour England in July where they will play three T20Is, three ODIs and five Tests. Kohli will play for Surrey in county cricket as the skipper aspires to improve and amend his batting skills on England soil as the swashbuckler's record against the red ball has not been impressive. The right-hand aggressive batsman has played five Test matches in the country where he has managed to score 134 runs at an average of 13.4 back in 2014 where India lost the five-match series 3-1.
