BCCI Implements Rules After Border-Gavaskar Loss

Following India's defeat in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, the BCCI has implemented new restrictions limiting players' family time on tours to two weeks for tours longer than 45 days. This decision emerged from a review meeting involving key figures like Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir, reflecting concerns about team bonding and focus. Additionally, players will no longer be allowed to use independent transport on tours, and suggestions include banning PR agencies to ensure equality among players. The restrictions are partly attributed to players' perceived prioritization of the IPL over Test cricket, with discussions about introducing performance-based pay cuts. The BCCI's actions aim to restore discipline and unity within the team amidst recent criticisms of performance and management strategies.
