BCCI Considers Policy Shift After Kohli's Criticism of Family Visit Rules
The cricket board is reportedly reevaluating its restrictive family visit policy, which has drawn public criticism from Virat Kohli and calls for balance from Kapil Dev.
- The BCCI's current policy limits family visits to 14 days on tours over 45 days and one week on shorter tours, with players covering most expenses.
- Virat Kohli has publicly criticized the policy, emphasizing the importance of family presence for mental well-being and normalcy during high-pressure tours.
- Kapil Dev has supported family involvement but urged a balanced approach to ensure team unity and focus during international cricket tours.
- Reports suggest the BCCI may revise the policy, potentially allowing players to request extended family stays, though no official changes have been announced.
- During the Champions Trophy, some players, including Kohli, had their families present at their own expense, highlighting the financial implications of the policy.
