cricket in india (BCCI) has implemented some new rules. Accordingly, players are not allowed to take their wives, family members, and personal assistants with them during
international matches. This is the first overseas series that the
indian team will participate in after the
bcci implemented this rule. A senior player has approached the
bcci seeking permission to take his family along for the Champions Trophy series. However, the
bcci immediately rejected his request. The
bcci has categorically stated that this rule is common to all players and no exception can be made to anyone.
There is also talk that that senior player is Virat Kohli. According to the new
bcci rules, players can take their families with them on the third weekend only if the overseas tour lasts more than three weeks. If invited, they can stay with the players for two weeks. If, in an exceptional case, the
bcci allows a player to take his family along, the player will have to bear all the expenses. It is noteworthy that the
bcci has imposed these new restrictions following the recent 4-1 defeat of the
indian team in the Test series against Australia. This step is said to have been taken to improve discipline and ensure that the players focus on the game without distractions. Although these new rules impose additional restrictions on the players, the
bcci feels that it is necessary for the overall welfare of the team and to improve the quality of the game. At the same time, it is said that it has caused inconvenience to some players like Virat Kohli.
