MUMBAI, Dec 15: Virat Kohli on Wednesday said before ending the call on test Team selection , five Selectors told me I will not be ODI captain.
Kohli said " I am available for selection and was available for selection. You should not be asking these questions. You should be asking these to people who are writing these and their sources. As far as I am concerned, I am always available for selection. In the past, there was something said that I was. They are absolutely not credible."
Virat said " I am available for ODIs and I was always keen to play. As I said, this questions would be asked to people who are writing lies.
My communication with the BCCI has not happened and I wanted to rest. Whatever was said, I was contantacted one and half hours before the meeting. There was no communication. The chief selector discussed the Test team. Before ending the call, five selectors told me I will not be ODI captain. Which is fine."
Virat said " Well, I can't say whether it will leave a positive impact on my batting. No one can predict these thing. I have taken a lot of pride in batting as a captain. I know that the motivation level will not dip at all."
