This comes after Kohli recently revealed that he dyes his beard.
"I just coloured my beard two days back... when you start doing that after every four days, it is time." Kohli said during Yuvraj Singh 's fundraiser event in London.
After the England Test series, that ended earlier this week, the India team were next supposed to face Bangladesh in T20I and ODI series in August.
However, the BCCI deferred the series to September, 2026, "taking into account the international cricketing commitments and scheduling convenience of both teams."
Had that series taken place, it would have mark the comeback of Kohli, as well as Rohit Sharma, in Indian colours.
It effectively means the return of Kohli and Rohit will not happen before the third week of October unless a new series is announced.
India will tour Australia for three ODIs and five T20Is, starting in October later this year.
There were reports that the BCCI has got an offer from Sri Lanka regarding a T20I and an ODI series in August.
However, the series in Sri Lanka is not happening, according to a report, as the players have been given 'complete rest' following a two-month long series where all five Test matches went till the fifth day.
