BCCI lost their last two series including a match at home versus New Zealand as well as another series in Australia, in which they lost 1-3. Following the tour, the Board of Control For Cricket in India learned a valuable lesson and has put restrictions on Indian Cricketers. Also according to a recent article published by Dainik Jagran during a meeting held between Rohit Sharma, chief selector Ajit Agarkar and head coach Gautam Gambhir it was unanimously decided that all Indian tour players will not be allowed to stay with their wives throughout the tour.

Due to Covid break, players were accompanied by their wives, but this policy was amended for all players by the BCCI. The players’ families and wives are prohibited from adjusting with them on the trip covering all the entire duration on the said tour. If the tournament falls over a period of 45 days, then the player can only spend 14 days with family or a wife. While on shorter periods, the decrease is only 7 days.

Wives of Indian players Kohli, and KL Rahul along with Singh were present in all the matches for the recently concluded tour India versus Australia.

The board believes that the presence of family members during the tour is negatively affecting performance of the players according to some reports.

Moreover, it is understood that all Indian players have to use team transport. In the past few years, many players have been able to travel by themselves but that will no longer be the case. All players regardless of who they are, will be required to travel in the team bus together.

"The BCCI has informed its players that in order to enhance the focus on team cohesion, they will use a team bus for travel. No matter how popular a player is to be, he will use this bus," the report published read.

The coach will also be accompanied by the assistant and BCCI vice president in addition to the players. Gautam Gambhir’s manager will be restricted from entering the team hotel, the VIP box and team bus for the duration of the competition.
