Win Projections to be updated soon
A rigorous 10-point rule for India’s senior men’s team was recently adopted by the top-tier governing body, the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India). This rule was put into effect before to the first Twenty20 International match against England on January 22 at Kolkata’s famous Eden Gardens. These regulations were put into place following a lacklustre showing against Australia in the most recent Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Team India is currently preparing for the forthcoming ICC Champions Trophy by playing England in five Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) and three One-Day Internationals (ODIs). But India’s recent problems in the game’s longest format have forced the board to take action to boost cohesiveness and team performance.
During the India-England series, all state cricket associations have been informed of the new rules. One of the policy modifications is the requirement that players ride the team bus together to and from practices and games. Regarding the policy, the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) attested that no other players’ transportation was arranged separately.
The Bengal Cricket Association has not set up any special transportation for individual players, in accordance with the BCCI’s 10-point player standards.
The Indian team has just been given a team bus. The cricket players will not have access to personal vehicles. According to CAB President Snehasish Ganguly, “We must adhere to the rules, which explicitly stipulate that every player is expected to accompany the team to and from games and practice sessions.”
Rohit Sharma was worried about the limitations.
According to the guideline, players must remain for the full length of practice sessions; the head coach or top selector must give prior permission for an exemption to be made. This regulation, according to the BCCI, is intended to guarantee a strong work ethic among team members.
In order to preserve player form and preparation, the guidelines also require mandatory involvement in domestic cricket. According to BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar, these actions are meant to instill discipline rather than to punish.
Players’ attitudes to the new rules have been mixed, despite the BCCI’s belief that they are essential. Concerns about the limitations, especially the little time players will spend with their families while on tour, were recently voiced by Indian captain Rohit Sharma. Agarkar did stress the significance of following the rules when playing for the national team, though.
