BCCI Permits Players' Families to Watch One ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Match with Prior Approval
The BCCI has made some strict rules for the players after losing the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 in Australia. They conducted a review meeting and announced the new rules for the Indian team. They restricted family time with players during the match time.
India’s ICC Champions Trophy 2025 match will start on February 20 against Bangladesh in Dubai. Now, the BCCI announced new rules limiting how long players' families can stay with them.
According to the reports, the BCCI has now allowed player's families to watch one match of the ICC Champions Trophy by getting permission from the board. Under the new rules, families can only join players for a short time if an overseas tour lasts more than 45 days.
The BCCI will allow Indian players' families to watch 1 match of Champions Trophy in Dubai.

But the Champions Trophy is shorter, so this rule doesn't apply to player's families to stay with them. The new rules also require players to travel together at all teams on team buses only, no special flights and other traveling facilities for players.
And also no player can go to training alone or leave the camp early without special permission.
