“Families should travel”: Cheteshwar Pujara again kept the BCCI dick under the scanner

The Control Board for Cricket in India (BCCI) Diktat has widely criticized the restricted access to family members at the team hotel during the tour. After the tour of Australia, where India lost 1-3, the BCCI issued a 10-point guideline released when the families were allowed to spend with the players during any foreign tour. However, recently, Virat Kohli has expressed his disappointment and emphasized the importance of the players, which keep their loved ones close to them during high pressure conditions – especially during foreign tourism.

Cheteshwar Pujara also supports Kohli in this regard.

“I would say that families should travel. They should be with players, window. I mean, there are times where the families are in the entire chain. You are as a player, you know, professional, you want to participate in your practice sessions. So there is a window,” Pujara said on the firstpost.

“Usually what most teams do, they have a window of two or three weeks in a long tour. So if you’re going away from home for 40 days, there are three weeks, where families can travel. So the best way to balance it, because the coaching staff or management feels that if the family is traveling, the players do not have the matter which is not sufficiently focused on the case, which is not a matter which is not a matter,”

“But just to balance it, I think if you have a proper window where the family can travel and at the same time, if you are going early for preparation, the players are simply focusing on the part of the preparation. And then when it starts, you have a three -week window where the family can travel,” said Pujara.

During the recent Sambhal Champions Trophy, players like Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Shami made their families in Dubai, but did not stay in the team’s hotel. The expenses for their stay were borne by the players, not by the BCCI.
