Former Pakistani cricketer Younis Khan has invited Indian cricket star Virat Kohli to play in the 2025 Champions Trophy in Pakistan.
Khan extended a warm invitation to Kohli, urging him to consider playing one last match in Pakistan, especially after Kohli and Rohit Sharma announced their retirement from T20 internationals following India’s recent T20 World Cup victory.
Khan’s invitation reflects his admiration for Kohli’s career and his hope that cricket can continue to bridge gaps between the two nations.
Despite Kohli and Sharma’s retirement from the shorter format, India’s new head coach, Gautam Gambhir, believes that both players could potentially continue playing until the 2027 World Cup if they remain fit.
This suggestion highlights the ongoing debate about the future contributions of these experienced players to Indian cricket.
