The national selection committee’s decision to name India skipper Virat Kohli for the two-match T20 series against Ireland has created confusion as it’s clashing with his county commitments for Surrey. India are set to play two T20s against Ireland in Dublin’s Malahide on June 27 and 29 while Kohli is scheduled to play his last county match for Surrey against Yorkshire at Scarborough from June 25 to 28. “If the selectors have picked him for the Ireland T20s despite the county dates being available, it means that he will not play the game against Yorkshire. This cannot be a unilateral decision as the county contracts has been inked after much deliberation. Playing against Ireland means that he will get only two county games.
