BCCI Family Rule / BCCI is now going to take this decision on the players' families, a new rule will come

BCCI is going to change its strict travel policy rules. Now players will be able to take permission to take their families on foreign tours. Many players including Virat Kohli had opposed this rule. An official announcement of this change is possible before the England tour.

BCCI Family Rule: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is considered the most powerful and rich cricket board in the world. When it takes a decision, the entire cricket world pays attention to it. But this time, the BCCI feels the need to change the rules made by itself.

Old rules and their impact

After the defeat in the Test series against Australia, the BCCI had implemented a strict travel policy. Under this policy, the families of the players were allowed to stay with them for a limited time during overseas tours. According to the BCCI, this rule was made to prioritize the performance of the players.

Under the rule, players could take their families along only for two weeks. Many senior players, especially veterans like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, disagreed with this decision. Virat Kohli, while giving a statement against this rule, said that staying with the family during difficult times gives mental strength to the players and they are able to perform better. His statement was supported by many cricket experts and former players.

Possibility of change in rule

According to media reports, BCCI is now planning to change this rule. Under the new rule, if players want to take their family along on a major foreign tour, they will have to take permission from BCCI. This means that players will get more flexibility and they will be able to keep their family with them while prioritizing their mental health.

Decision important before England tour

The importance of this decision of BCCI also increases because the Indian team has to go on the upcoming England tour. The tour will start from June 20 and will run till August 4, in which five Test matches will be played. It can be challenging for the players to stay away from their families in such a long tour. This is the reason why the board is considering relaxing this rule.

Emphasis on balanced lifestyle of players

In today's competitive cricket environment, the mental health and personal life of the players are as important as their game. Spending time with family keeps the players more mentally balanced and improves their performance.

If the BCCI changes this rule, it will be a positive step towards the well-being of cricketers. It will not only increase the satisfaction of the players but will also have a positive impact on their performance.
