BCCI set to allow player families to watch one game of ICC Champions Trophy

Image
  After the Border Gavaskar Trophy, the BCCI has implemented new restrictions on player family presence during tours. Families can only accompany players on overseas tours lasting over 45 days, for a maximum of two weeks. However, for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy, which lasts less than a month, families are not allowed to travel with the team. In a notable exception, families will be permitted to attend one match of the Champions Trophy, but they must obtain prior permission from the BCCI. This decision comes after a disappointing series against Australia, prompting the board to enforce stricter travel and discipline rules. Players are now required to travel together on team buses and cannot leave training early or travel alone without special permission. The Indian team is set to begin its Champions Trophy campaign on February 20 against Bangladesh, with all matches taking place in Dubai due to the team’s refusal to travel to Pakistan for the tournament. The BCCI’s u...
