Kapil for ‘balanced’ approach on family visits during tour

Hindustan Times  

New Delhi: World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev on Tuesday backed the idea of families travelling with cricketers on tours but called for a “balanced approach” in dealing with the issue that has divided opinion. Kapil’s comments come days after Virat Kohli expressed his disappointment over BCCI’s diktat on curtailing family visits on tours lasting more than 45 days, allowing a maximum of 14 days of family time. I think it’s the cricket board’s call,” said the 1983 World Cup-winning captain, speaking on the sidelines of the launch of the third edition of Kapil Dev Grant Thornton Invitational tournament. And I feel quite disappointed about that because it’s like people who have no control over what’s going on are kind of brought into conversations and put out at the forefront that, ‘oh, maybe they need to be kept away’.” ‘Golf with a dash of T20’ The third edition of Kapil Dev Grant Thornton Invitational promises to have a “dash of T20 cricket,” Kapil said.
