The right-handed batsman will require a three-week rehabilitation to recover from the injury, the BCCI acting secretary Amitabh Choudhary said.

"Team India Captain Mr Virat Kohli suffered a neck injury while fielding during Match 51 of the VIVO IPL between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Sunrisers Hyderabad on 17th May 2018 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru," he added.

"Kohli, who was scheduled to play for Surrey CCC in the month of June, has been ruled out from participating."

This decision was taken following assessments by the BCCI Medical team, subsequent scans, and a specialist visit," the release further stated.

The 29-year-old will undergo a fitness test on June 15, which will confirm his availability for the initial phase of the UK limited-overs tour starting with the two T20 Internationals against Ireland in last week of June.

"The BCCI Medical Team is confident that Kohli will regain full fitness ahead of India's upcoming tours to Ireland and England," the release concluded.&nbsp;

Kohli had visited a hospital in Mumbai for a check-up yesterday and it was reported that he is suffering from a slip disc injury and will not be playing for Surrey ahead of the UK tour.

India will begin the series against England with T20Is in early July.
