Ahead of IPL 2025, ace Indian batter, Virat Kohli once again made headlines, but this time, it’s for speaking out about the no-family rule that cricketers have to follow during international tours. The cricketer openly talked about the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) decision to limit the presence of players’ families on overseas tours.
Virat Kohli slams BCCI for its no-family policy
Recently, Virat spoke at the RCB Innovation Lab Indian Sports Summit in Bengaluru, ahead of the much-awaited IPL 2025, which starts on March 22, 2025. Kohli didn’t hold back as he highlighted the emotional toll such restrictions take on cricketers. For those unaware, the BCCI issued a strict 10-point directive aimed at addressing discipline and team cohesion, following India’s consecutive Test series defeats against New Zealand. One of the rules did not sit well with the players. It stated that families of players on tours exceeding 45 days would be allowed to visit only once, for a maximum of 14 days.
