India had to deal with injury scares ahead of the England Test series as captain Virat Kohli and vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane were both ruled out of the three-day warm-up match against a County Select XI on Tuesday.


It was a surprise to see Rohit Sharma walk out for the toss at Chester-le-Street in Durham instead of Kohli or Rahane as this is India's only chance to get match-practice before the five-Test series gets underway on August 4. But BCCI late in the evening confirmed that Kohli and Rahane had niggles.

BCCI said Kohli was ruled out of the practice match, which has been given first-class status, due to stiffness in back.

"Captain Virat Kohli felt some stiffness in his back on late Monday evening and he has been advised rest from the three-day first-class warm-up game by the BCCI Medical Team," the release said.
