Paternity leave for Kohli

India captain Virat Kohli will play the test series opener against Australia next month before taking paternity leave and missing the second, third and fourth matches. The Board of Control for Cricket in India issued a statement yesterday confirming it had granted Kohli’s request for paternity leave during the Border-Gavaskar series. The India squad is set to arrive in Australia later this week on a charter flight from the United Arab Emirates, where the Indian Premier League has been staged. The squad will go into quarantine for 14 days before playing three one-day internationals and three Twenty20 internationals against Australia in Sydney and Canberra. Kohli is expected to play in the limited-overs section of the tour and the day-night test match at the Adelaide Oval from December 17-21 before returning to India to be with his actress wife Anushka Sharma, who is expecting the couple’s first child in January.
