Champions Trophy / BCCI gave a big blow to Rohit Sharma, banned these things before Champions Trophy

Champions Trophy: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has given a big blow to Indian captain Rohit Sharma during the ODI match played against England in Ahmedabad. The board has officially handed over the list of rules related to travel, luggage and family for the Champions Trophy 2025 to him. According to reports, the BCCI has taken a tough stand on these rules, and it will be mandatory for all players to follow them.

Controversy escalated over strict guidelines

There was a lot of debate about these guidelines even before the England series. Rohit Sharma then expressed his displeasure in front of the journalists and said that nothing has been made official yet. However, now the board has formally implemented these rules, ending the possibility of players getting any kind of personal exemption.

BCCI's strict rules

According to a Cricbuzz report, the BCCI has issued some special guidelines for the Champions Trophy, which have made strict rules regarding nets, travel, luggage and players accompanying their families. During the Ahmedabad ODI, Rohit Sharma was handed an official copy of these rules, which made it clear that these guidelines have come into effect with immediate effect.

BCCI sources say that this step has been taken to maintain discipline in the team, promote unity and ensure a positive atmosphere. Hyderabad Cricket Association secretary R. Devraj will play the role of team manager during the Champions Trophy. He has been given the responsibility of ensuring that all the players follow these rules completely.

On which things did the BCCI give the most emphasis?

According to the Cricbuzz report, the BCCI's main focus is on the personal staff of the players. According to the new rules:

Players can no longer take personal managers, chefs, assistants or security staff with them.

No player will be allowed to take his personal staff with him without the permission of the BCCI.

The board has taken this strict step to reduce logistics problems.

Earlier many players used to take their personal hairdressers, nannies, cooks and other staff with them, which created problems for the team management.

New rules related to travel and practice

It will be mandatory for all players to stay together during the entire practice session.

Players will now have to travel in the team bus instead of personal vehicles.

Players will not be able to shoot any kind of personal ad during the tournament.

With this decision of BCCI, it has become clear that the board is no longer going to compromise on the discipline and commitment of the team. It remains to be seen how Rohit Sharma and other players react to this tough decision and what effect it has on the upcoming Champions Trophy.
