Rohit Sharma is set to lead the team in all formats. The series is likely to feature India’s all the first-choice players such as Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul and Jasprit Bumrah to name a new. However, it has been understood that Virat Kohli might take a break and won’t be part of the squad for the tour of England.

In an interview with Star Sports, he recently stated that he will discuss with Indian team management and head coach Rahul Dravid with regards to taking a break.

“There’s one person precisely who has mentioned it which is Ravi bhai and that’s because he has seen from close quarters over the last six-seven years the reality of the situation that I have been in. The amount of cricket that I have played and the ups and downs and the toll that it takes on you to play three formats of the game plus the IPL for 10-11 years non-stop with the seven years of captaincy in between,” he told Star Sports in an interview.

“So to take a break and when to take a break is obviously something that I need to take a call on, but it is only a healthy decision for anyone to take some time off and just rejuvenate yourself mentally and physically," Virat added.
