BCCI grants paternity leave to Virat Kohli

The BCCI has granted paternity leave to Indian captain Virat Kohli. Kohli will return home after the first Test match against Australia in Adelaide.

The BCCI included Rohit Sharma in the Test squad, who was earlier not selected for the tour down under. The selection committee also included Sanju Samson in the ODI squad as an additional wicket-keeper.

However, owing to a shoulder injury, Varun Chakraborty has been ruled out of the T20 series.
