India and Delhi Capitals player Mohit Sharma shared his thoughts on BCCI<\/a>‘s new policy regarding family members accompanying players during tours.
The revised policy permits families, including spouses and children, to join players for 14 days after the initial two weeks on tours lasting over 45 days. For shorter tours, family time is limited to one week.
This policy modification came into effect after India’s 3-1 defeat to Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

“Some things are beyond our control. While we all have personal opinions, it’s essential to focus on what we can manage. How can the presence of families be a bad thing? If something isn’t in our hands, it’s best to leave it as it is. Rather than commenting on such matters, we should concentrate on what we can control,” he was reported as saying by ANI.
The debate has garnered attention from several cricketers, including Virat Kohli, who shared his views at the Royal Challengers Bengaluru Innovation Lab Indian Sports Summit before IPL 2025.
“It is very difficult to explain to people how grounding it is to just come back to your family every time you have something intense, which happens on the outside,” said Kohli<\/a>.
“I do not think people have an understanding of what value it brings to a large extent. And I feel quite disappointed about that because it is like people who have no control over what is going on are kind of brought into conversations and put out at the forefront that, ‘oh, maybe they need to be kept away’.”
“I want to be able to be normal. And then you can really treat your game as something that is a responsibility. You finish that responsibility, and you come back to life.”
“Like, there could be different situations happening in your life all the time. And that allows you to be absolutely normal. Not in a vague sense, but in a very real way that you finish your commitment, your responsibility, and then you come back to your house, you are with family, and there’s absolutely normalcy in your house and normal family life goes on. So, for me, that is absolutely a day of immense pleasure. And I would not miss any opportunities to go out and spend time with my family whenever I can.”<\/p>\n
