BCCI changes position: player families may attend the Champions Trophy 2025 with certain restrictions.

After arriving in Dubai, the Men in Blue are getting ready for the Champions Trophy 2025. Nevertheless, Team India had a poor tour of Australia well before the forthcoming ICC (International Cricket Council) main event, and they failed to defend the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) released a ten-point guideline document as a consequence of many scrutiny and follow-up discussions. This document led to revised travel regulations and a restructure of the team’s management and future.

The BCCI took a number of strict measures as a result, including prohibiting Indian players’ families from travelling on tour as they had in the past. Certain requirements were proposed by the Indian board. Due to the board’s refusal to allow them to have family members, including wives, during the trip, Team India players were forced to take the flight to Dubai without any family members.

According to Dainik Jagran, the BCCI has calmed down somewhat in recent years and is considering letting Indian cricket stars’ families attend at least one Champions Trophy 2025 match.

It is noteworthy that India will play all of its matches in Dubai after the BCCI, ICC, and the hosts PCB, also known as the Pakistan Cricket Board, decided on a hybrid approach. The Men in Blue will therefore still have the opportunity to play in Dubai, unlike the other seven teams competing for the Champions Trophy, if they make it to the tournament’s knockout stages.

The BCCI Secretary talked about the family travel policy prior to the Indian players departing for Dubai.

In the meantime, the Champions Trophy comes up. On February 19, the much-anticipated mega cricket carnival will begin in Karachi. Team India will play their first match of the season on Thursday against Bangladesh. February 20th. After that, India will welcome Pakistan and face off against the bitter rivals in what could be an exciting match. February 23 is the date of this Group A game.

Additionally, it was disclosed that Devajit Saikia, the secretary of the BCCI, had communicated with a high-ranking board officer who had spoken out on the matter of family travel. It was decided that, due to the tournament’s short duration, players’ families would only be permitted to watch one Champions Trophy match if they made a request in advance.
