Kapil Dev responded to Virat Kohli’s “family-free” rule, saying “You need a family, but…”
After India lost 1-3 Test Series series against Australia, BCCI issued a directive that limits the duration of a family visit lasting more than 45 days, which can take up to 14 days of family time.
The legendary cricketer Kapil Dev is all suitable for families traveling with cricketers, but has also called for a balanced approach to dealing with controversial issues, which has already diverged opinions. After India lost 1-3 Test Series series against Australia, BCCI issued a directive that limits the duration of a family visit lasting more than 45 days, which can take up to 14 days of family time.
For shorter tours, players can take their family to a maximum of one week.
“Well, I don’t know, this is a call from the cricket committee,” said the captain of the 1983 World Cup champion, who said during the “Kapil Dev Grant Thornton Invitational”.
“My point is that you need a family. In the recently combined champion trophy players like Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Shami have put their families with them in Dubai but are not staying at Team Hotel. The cost of their accommodation is paid by the players, not BCCI.
“In our time, we used to say to ourselves, not the cricket committee – the first half of the tour should be cricket, and in the second half, the family should come to enjoy it.
On Sunday, Kohli expressed support for the player’s family’s presence on the trip, noting that he would always prefer to get personal support around him to help with tough and tough days on the court rather than quarantine in his hotel room.
