Virat Kohli has confirmed his availability for the Vijay Hazare Trophy after 15 years, DDCA president Rohan Jaitley announced Tuesday evening. The domestic 50-over competition begins December 24, with Delhi facing Andhra Pradesh. Kohli's decision aligns with Indian team management's directive, led by head coach Gautam Gambhir and chief selector Ajit Agarkar, requiring senior players to play domestic cricket for World Cup 2027 consideration. Kohli last participated in 2010, captaining Delhi against Services. He'll likely play multiple matches before joining India's January 11 ODI series against New Zealand. Delhi's group fixtures run through January 8 against Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Saurashtra, Odisha, Services, Railways, and Haryana. (PC: The Cricketer)
