‘Test cricket has lost Virat Kohli as captain’ says Eoin Morgan over Virat Kohli not captaining India.

Australia emerged victorious in the highly anticipated (WTC Final) World Test Championship final of 2023, defeating India by a substantial margin of 209 runs on Sunday, June 11. This momentous final marked the conclusion of the second cycle of the WTC, with the third cycle set to commence in the near future. The inception of the WTC by the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 2019 was a crucial step taken to preserve the significance of the longest and oldest format of the game, amidst concerns about its diminishing popularity worldwide.

Nonetheless, the format currently faces new challenges, as highlighted by Eoin Morgan, the former England captain and a World Cup winner. Morgan expressed his belief that the departure of Virat Kohli as the Test captain is a significant setback for the game, considering Kohli’s unwavering passion for Test cricket. Kohli’s absence from the leadership role will undoubtedly leave a void and have an impact on the format.

Eoin Morgan said “Test cricket for me is still unbelievable. But it is a really challenging time for it. It has lost Virat Kohli as a Test captain and he always spoke vividly about how much he loved it and was passionate about it,”.
