BCCI Reverses Decision, Permits Families of Indian Cricketers to Attend One Champions Trophy Match: Report

During the Champions Trophy 2025, Indian cricket players can reportedly bring their families to one match. If they qualify, India, captained by Rohit Sharma, will play all their ICC tournament matches in Dubai, including the semifinal and championship games.

In an attempt to reestablish discipline after the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the BCCI reportedly issued Indian cricket players with a 10-point diktat last month. One rule was that players could spend a maximum of two weeks with their families on a tour lasting longer than forty-five days.

The reports also claimed that the cricketers selected for the 2025 Champions Trophy would not be allowed to take their families to the UAE.

A BCCI insider stated that a player might bring his family to Dubai for a single match if he so desired.

India is in Group A, along with Bangladesh, Pakistan, and New Zealand. The team plays Bangladesh on February 20 to kick off the campaign. On February 23, they play Pakistan in a major match, and on March 2, they play New Zealand to wrap up their group campaign.

news organization A senior player did ask if families may be granted an exception for the Champions Trophy, according to a BCCI source that PTI recently cited. The player, not the BCCI, will be responsible for paying all costs if allowed.

For this trip, it is unlikely that the players will be joined by their spouses or partners. He was informed that the policy decision would be implemented when one of the older players asked about it, according to the BCCI source. According to reports, one Indian player must bring a total of 27 luggage on his trip to Australia. His assistants and family luggage need to be included among that baggage.

According to reports, the BCCI's new regulations also limit the amount of luggage a cricket player may bring on a tour to 150 kilograms per player. If the player exceeds the limit, he will be responsible for the expense.
