After India's 1-3 Test series loss to Australia, the BCCI introduced new restrictions on family visits during tours. For tours longer than 45 days, players can have their families join them only after the first two weeks, with a maximum stay of 14 days. Family visits are allowed for up to one week on shorter tours.
“It is very difficult to explain to people how grounding it is to come back to your family every time you have something intense happening on the outside. I don’t think people have an understanding of what value it brings. I feel quite disappointed about that," Kohli said.
I Think It's the Cricket Board's Call - Kapil Dev
Kapil Dev stated that the decision regarding family presence during tours is ultimately up to the cricket board. While he acknowledged the importance of family, he emphasized that a team is needed all the time.
Players such as Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, and Mohammed Shami had their families accompany them to Dubai during the recent Champions Trophy. However, they stayed separately from the team at a different hotel. The players covered the expenses for their families' accommodation, rather than the BCCI.
The Family Should Come and Enjoy It Too - Kapil Dev
"In our time, we used to say to ourselves — not by the cricket board — that the first half of the tour should be cricket, and in the second half, the family should come and enjoy it too. It should be a blend," said Kapil.
