Ahead of Champions Trophy 2025, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has made some changes regarding the presence of Indian cricketers’ wives or families at the matches. Indian cricketers will reportedly be permitted to bring their families to one match during the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025, report by Dainik Jagran stated.
This minor change comes after the BCCI had earlier said that Indian players won’t be permitted to take their wives or families to Dubai for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The BCCI had put out a 10-pointer directive after India’s 1-3 loss to Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
