Despite Virat Kohli's complaint, BCCI says family policy for Team India players will not change
FirstpostDespite Virat Kohli expressing concerns over the restrictions on family members accompanying Team India players during tours, the BCCI has made it clear that the policy will remain unchanged. Board of Control for Cricket in India secretary general Devajit Saikia has refuted reports that the cricketing body was willing to relax rules related to family members’ presence on overseas tours. The reports of any possible change in BCCI SOPs was initially inspired by former India captain Virat Kohli’s scathing remarks that no players wants to “sit alone and sulk” in their hotel rooms on overseas tour. The policy changes made earlier this year by BCCI after India’s disastrous tour of Australia states that family members and players cannot be together for more than two weeks on overseas tours.
