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

 

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 updated policies aim to enhance discipline and unity within the squad as they prepare for this significant event.

Australian Star Statement on the Finals of the ODI World Cup 2023

Image
The batman of the Australian cricket team, Marnus Labuschagne, said he had “never seen” someone bowl like the way Pat Cummins did during the finals of the World Cup against India, which they won by six wickets for a record-extending sixth title. Cummins had the best economy rate in the 10 overs he had bowled and also grabbed two wickets to restrict Rohit Sharma’s side to 240. With an economy rate of 3.40 to go with the wickets of Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer, Cummins put the skids on India. Labuschagne said, “I think that was certainly Pat’s best day with the ball.” Labuschagne, who scored an unbeaten half-century in the final, said, “I think I’ve never seen someone bowl the sequence Cummins did, bowling the right balls at the right time that he did. I haven’t seen that from a middle-overs bowler or a pace bowler, especially in a long time. A lot of credit has to go to him.” Labuschagne also praised the tactical acumen of coach Andrew McDonald, saying he and the team analyst prepared t...
