Champions Trophy 2025: BCCI Lifts Family Ban, Allows Players to Stay with Wives, But with One Condition!

The Men in Blue have arrived in Dubai and are getting ready for the Champions Trophy 2025. However, Team India had a poor tour of Australia, where they failed to defend the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, well before the next big event of the ICC (International Cricket Council). Following a series of scrutiny and follow-up meetings, the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) released a ten-point guideline paper that resulted in new travel regulations and a restructure of the team's administration and future.

As a result, the BCCI implemented a number of strict measures, including prohibiting Indian players' families from travelling on tour as they had previously. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has reportedly permitted the squad players to bring their families to the ICC Champions Trophy in Dubai, which is encouraging for Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and other Indian cricket stars. The players are really relieved about this development because, following the Border-Gavaskar Trophy fiasco, the board changed some rules and completely prohibited family members from attending.

BCCI Eases Restrictions in Champions Trophy 2025:

The Indian board proposed a number of requirements. As a result of the board denying them the privilege of having family members, including wives, during the tour, Team India players boarded the flight to Dubai without any family members. In Dainik Jagran's latest report, although the BCCI has let the players' spouses and family members travel with them to Dubai, strict restrictions have been placed. Only one game will be permitted for the players to have family members accompany them. The athletes can talk among themselves and ask the BCCI for the same thing. After that, the board will make the plans.

Speaking of the Champions Trophy in the interim. Karachi's much-anticipated mega cricket festival will begin on February 19. On Thursday, Team India will play their first match of the season against Bangladesh. February 20. After that, in what is sure to be an intense match, India will square off against its bitter rivals and host Pakistan. The date of this Group A game is February 23.
