India batter K L Rahul is set to miss the white-ball series against England, starting in Kolkata on January 22, after requesting a ‘break’ from the Board of Control for Cricket in India.
The series, comprising of five T20s and three ODIs, holds significance as it precedes the ICC Champions Trophy, starting on February 19.
However, Rahul will be available for selection for the ICC Champions Trophy next month. India will play all their games in Dubai while the rest of the matches will be held in host nation Pakistan.
“He has sought a break for the England series but he will be available for selection for Champions Trophy,” a BCCI source told PTI.
