Virat Kohli has yet to take the flight to New York for the 2024 T20 World Cup. The star India batter will likely link up with the squad before the only warm-up fixture, vs Bangladesh on June 1. It is understood that he will fly towards the end of the month.
“He will reach New York before the warm-up vs Bangladesh on June 1. Whether he plays or not in the warm-up will be management’s call – whether they feel there is enough gap between him landing and the warm-up fixture,” says a source close to developments.
