Virat Kohli

Afghanistan Cricket Board CEO Shafiq Stanikzai today said it would be a dream come true to begin their Test journey against India but they would "miss" playing against Virat Kohli. India skipper Kohli will not be part of Afghanistan's debut Test, which is scheduled to be played at Bengaluru's Chinnaswamy Stadium from 14 June, as the prolific batsman will be heading to England to play county cricket for Surrey. "We lived this dream to play this first Test against India in India. That moment has come true. Virat is a world cricket icon, something our players will miss the exposure playing against.
