Virat Kohli won't be playing in Wednesday's first Twenty20 international match against Afghanistan, India head coach Rahul Dravid confirmed at the start of the customary press conference. When Dravid addressed the media prior to India versus Afghanistan's first-ever series opener in Mohali, he was also questioned about the decision to not select wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan. The top batsman Shreyas Iyer was left out of India's squad for the three-match Twenty20 International Series, and the head coach of that nation disclosed why.
