Amidst strict regulations from the Board of Cricket Control in India, players are allowed to bring their families to Dubai but for one match with provided permissions. According to a report from India Today on February 18, the BCCI has decided to give a bit of leeway in the Champions Trophy without disrupting the team bonding sessions by letting families attend one match of the tournament. Additionally, the interested player needs to seek necessary permission from the board for this. A BCCI source anonymously informed India Today that the management doesn't want any distractions for the players and that is why one match seems enough for them. The source said, "While the focus remains on team bonding and ensuring players are together without any distractions, the BCCI has decided to allow cricketers to take their family members (parents or wives) to one match during the Champions Trophy. However, this is allowed only after prior permission is sought from the board. Players will have to inform the BCCI about the match they wish to have their family attend, and permission will be granted accordingly." Read also: Not Kohli or Rohit!
