    What's the story

    As per media reports, Virat Kohli has told the BCCI that he has been suffering from a wrist injury.

    This, in turn, has forced the selectors to delay the squad announcement for the two Tests against West Indies.

    They are awaiting Kohli's reports.

    Kohli was recently given a rest and didn't play in the Asia Cup.

    Here is more about the same.

    Wrist issues

    Kohli suffering from a wrist problem, says BCCI official

    According to a report in PTI, a senior BCCI official stated that Virat has a slight wrist niggle.

    The selectors are awaiting a report from the NCA support staff but it is not clear when he sustained the same.

    Although speculations are on that he might have suffered the injury in England.

    If Kohli is declared fit, then he will lead the side.

    Squad

    Selectors likely to announce the squad tomorrow

    However, if Virat is deemed unfit then the selectors might name the squad only for the first Test.

    Ajinkya Rahane will then captain the side.

    Notably, the extent of Virat Kohli's injury is unknown, till now.

    The squad is expected to be announced tomorrow with the first Test starting on October 4.

    West Indies are currently playing a match against Board President's XI.
