Until now, players' families, especially wives were given freedom over their stays for long tours but the Indian board is now set to make some changes.

As per a report, the BCCI feels that players' performances on overseas tours get affected negatively if they stay with their families for long durations.

Hence, the board wants to re-introduce a rule that existed before 2019, limiting families' time with players.

According to a report, the BCCI would only allow families, especially wives, to stay with players for two weeks during the course of a 45-day tour.

Not just that, every player would be required to travel in the team bus with the other members of the squad. Lone travel will also be discouraged by the board.

The report has also stated that during air travel, the BCCI would refrain from paying for players' luggage if the weight exceeds 150kg.
