Recently, the BCCI made it compulsory for all the players to travel in the team bus which means that no individual would be allowed to travel individually. The change in guidelines comes on the back of India's 1-3 Test series loss to Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

"The first report, which I liked, was that all players will travel in the team bus, and I am thinking this has been happening forever. The team bus has been named team bus because of that only, as the entire team will travel in it," Aakash Chopra said.
"It's like telling someone that you would get breakfast and not lunch in the morning. However, if this has been said, it means some rules had been changed and would have especially been changed for some individuals," he added.
Aakash Chopra slams players for "a huge disservice"
"Whoever did that has made a slight joke with Indian cricket and did a huge disservice because how can you treat people differently, or else you didn't treat them differently but gave the entire team the allowance to come in 15 separate vehicles. It wouldn't have happened without the coach's approval," Chopra said.
What is the rule change regarding India's travel?
Recently, India's head coach Gautam Gambhir, captain Rohit Sharma, and the chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar met BCCI officials at the board's headquarters in Mumbai to discuss about the team's performance in Australia.
