00:00 India batter Virat Kohli has withdrawn from the first two tests against England for personal
00:06 reasons. The 35-year-old has played 113 tests for India and has not missed a test for more
00:13 than two years.
00:14 The five-test series begins in Hyderabad on Thursday. The Board of Control for Cricket
00:19 released a statement. The team management have extended their support to the star batter
00:23 and are confident in the abilities of the remaining squad members to deliver results.
00:27 India's announcement on their star man came just a day after England took a blow as Harry
00:35 Brooke returned home due to personal reasons. The 24-year-old had a breakthrough season
00:39 last year and would have helped England's ongoing top-order headaches.
00:42 It's not all zoom and gloom however as coach Brendan McCullum has confirmed Ben Stokes
00:47 is good to go for the first test after recovering from surgery on his left knee. He's not expected
00:53 to bowl throughout the series but will no doubt bring a huge morale boost to the England camp.
