IND vs Eng 3rd Test: Gautam Gambhir responded to Virat Kohli’s criticism of BCCI’s rule. Cricket news

India’s national cricket coach Gautam Gambhir has expressed support for the Control Board for Cricket in the new family rule of India (BCCI) of India, which restrictions the players to spend the time with their families during the tournament. The rule was implemented after India’s loss of 1-3 in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, lasting 14 days for a tournament lasting 45 days or more to limit the family, and seven days for small tourism.The BCCI’s decision came as part of the new guidelines with the aim of keeping the players’ attention during international cricket tourism. The rule has discussed within the cricket community, former captain Virat Kohli expressed his rejection. Kohli had earlier said that he does not want to go back to his room and wants to sit and sit without his family.Gambhir shared his approach during a special interview with Cheteshwar Pujara, emphasizing that the primary purpose of the players is to represent the nation rather than being on leave.“Family is important, but you have understood one thing. You are here for a purpose. It’s not a holiday. You are here for a huge purpose. You have found very few people in that dressing room or in this tour, which gives the country an opportunity to take pride. Therefore, I am not against us not being with us.”

The Indian coach acknowledged the importance of family support, while ensuring that the ultimate goal of representing the country should be taken precedent.“It is important to have families, but if your attention is towards taking pride in our country and you have a much larger role than anything else, and you are committed to that goal, you are committed to that reason, I think everything else is fine. But for me, I think this is the reason and this goal is more important than anything else. ,

During the interview, Pujara asked Gambhir about his ability to disconnect the work after the match. The coach revealed its continuous association with the team’s strategies and plan.“This is a tough question. I still could not understand how to switch off because I never switch and sometimes it is very fun and it is very strange. Honestly, when we won the last Test match, the moment we won the last Test match, the first thing in my mind was what is going to be the combination for the next Test?”The new family rule represents a significant change of how the Indian cricket team manages the player-family interaction during tourism. While some players like Kohli have expressed concern about the restrictions, under Gambhir, the team management stated that professional commitments should focus primary.
