BCCI responde al crítico del viaje de Kohli Violil a las políticas familiares

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has responded to the criticism faced for brining in a new policy which placed restrictions on family of players travelling with them on tours.

“At this stage, the current policy will remain intact, as it is of paramount importance to both the nation and our institution, the BCCI,” BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia told Cricbuzz.

“The BCCI recognizes that there may be some resentment or differing opinions, as in a democratic setup, people are entitled to express their views,” Saikia said. “The policy is applied uniformly to all team members – players, coaches, managers, support staff, and everyone involved – and has been implemented with the best interests of everyone in mind.”

“This policy has not been formulated overnight; it has been in place for decades, dating back to the playing days of our president, Roger Binny – and possibly even earlier,” he said.

“The BCCI has increased the duration of family members’ stay with players during overseas tours, with provisions for relaxing the norms under special circumstances, but this will be done through a proper process,” he said.
