BCCI Implements New Luggage Cap After Player's Excessive 27-Bag Incident

The Indian cricket board now limits player luggage to 150kg following reports of a star cricketer carrying 250kg of baggage on a recent tour.

A star Indian cricketer reportedly carried 27 bags weighing 250kg during the team's tour of Australia, with the BCCI covering the costs in lakhs.
The excessive luggage included 17 bats and items belonging to the player's family and personal staff, leading to logistical challenges and financial strain for the board.
Reports suggest that other players began emulating this behavior, prompting the BCCI to introduce stricter regulations on luggage allowances.
Under the new rules, players can carry up to 150kg of luggage, including personal and cricket gear, with any excess costs to be borne by the players themselves.
The new policies, which also restrict family travel during shorter tours, will take effect starting with the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy in Dubai.
