There were reports of Kohli not being selected for the World T20 in WI and US, but than Kohli gave a simple reply that, “My name is being used to promote T20 cricket in other parts of the world. I still got it, I guess,”
This indicates that ICC wants him there because the only way for the game to grow in USA would be through him.
But than, could it be BCCI doesnt want the USA market to tap into this sport as it could ruin the BCCI hold on the sport?
It seems to me BCCI might be looking to drop Kohli for the purpose of him not featuring or allowing the game to grow in North America, because North America has a big sports market and ends up making leagues that are bigger than others leagues in the world.
