India will leave for Australia late this month to play six short-form internationals followed by a four-test series.
Kohli`s actress wife Anushka Sharma is pregnant with their first child.
Kohli`s deputy Ajinkya Rahane will lead India in the final three tests.
India also added Rohit Sharma to their test squad for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after initially not naming him in the touring party because of a hamstring niggle.
