Reports suggest that the BCCI feels that the slow wickets in the West Indies will not suit Kohli, and Ajit Agarkar has been tasked with persuading Kohli to make way for the younger players in T20Is. The BCCI is of the opinion that players like Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Rinku Singh, and Shivam Dube can provide more value than Kohli in the T20I format.

A BCCI official was also recently quoted as saying that Kohli has to play the IPL and do well to make it to the T20 WC side.

According to a report in the "Telegraph," the selectors are hesitant to pick Kohli for the T20 World Cup because they believe the seasoned player can not provide the team with the resources it needs in the quickest amount of time.
 
 
BCCI Secretary Jay Shah confirmed that Rohit Sharma will captain the Indian team for the T20 World Cup, but did not comment on Kohli's T20I future.

The selectors will monitor the performance of young players and Virat Kohli in the IPL, and good performances could lead to their selection in the T20 World Cup squad. The provisional squads for the T20 World Cup need to be submitted to the ICC by the first week of May.
