Skipper of the Indian Cricket team Virat Kohli has asked for the BCCI to change a current rule in regards to players' wives going with them on overseas tour. Kohli has asked for the board to enable the wives of all players to go with them on every overseas visit for the full tour. The BCCI had before limited the stay of wives of players and care staff to just only two weeks previously the beginning of the England Test series.


The issue of whether players' spouses ought to be permitted on abroad visits has been intensely debated more than quite a long while. Virat Kohli had at first moved toward a best BCCI official with respect to the issue, who consequently disclosed to him that this issue will be taken up by the Committee of Administrators (CoA). According to the flow strategy set up by the BCCI, spouses and care staff are permitted to remain with the players for just two weeks on abroad visits, paying little respect to the span of the visit.

Will BCCI will change the current policy?

Indian team director Sunil Subramaniam has been approached to present a formal demand for an adjustment in the rule by the CoA as indicated by a report in The Indian Express. It is improbable that there will be a choice on this issue at any point in the near future. The CoA is probably going to defer the choice for the present in light of the fact that the BCCI should modify its position, should the rule be changed.

"The request was made few days back yet as it is a BCCI arrangement choice, the chief should present a formal demand first. Anushka has been going with Kohli abroad, in any case, Kohli presently needs the old control to be nullified and another strategy should come up where wives should  be permitted to go in overseas tour with the Indian team," a source was cited as saying by The Indian Express.


Anushka Sharma was spotted at an occasion facilitated for the Indian Cricket Team at the UK High Commission during India's tour of England, and was likewise part of the group photo which circulated around the web. Fans rushed and targeted the board since it permitted only Virat Kohli's significant other to present with the team when there were not a single other relatives or wives of some other players in sight in the photo. A BCCI official anyway cleared up later that all players were welcomed with their accomplices and it was up to the individual players to choose.

"This is the standard wherever the group ventures. The High Commission welcomes the players with their relatives and it is in the end the choice of the people. Indeed, even in London, the players were welcomed alongside with their partners. There has been no rupture of any convention," a BCCI official was cited as saying to Hindustan Times.
