BCCI enforces strict rules affecting Kohli and team discipline amid recent losses.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has introduced a strict 10-point disciplinary policy aimed at enhancing unity and discipline within the Indian cricket team. This initiative comes in the wake of disappointing performances, including losses against Sri Lanka, New Zealand, and Australia. The new regulations are designed to ensure that players adhere to a more structured environment, which the BCCI believes is essential for the team`s success.

Key aspects of the policy include prohibiting players from traveling with personal staff and limiting family members` presence on tours to a maximum of 14 days. Additionally, participation in domestic cricket is now mandatory for selection to the national team. This move is particularly significant for prominent players such as Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Jasprit Bumrah, who have previously overlooked some of these guidelines.

Sanju Samson`s recent decision to skip the Vijay Hazare Trophy for Kerala has raised concerns about his selection for the upcoming Champions Trophy. The BCCI has underscored the importance of domestic cricket, and Samson`s absence without a valid reason has not sat well with the selectors. This follows a precedent where players like Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer faced consequences for missing domestic matches without permission.

Rishabh Pant`s position in the Champions Trophy squad is also under scrutiny, with alternatives like Hardik Pandya and Rinku Singh being considered. The BCCI`s new rules include penalties such as bans from the Indian Premier League (IPL) for non-compliance, reflecting the board`s commitment to fostering a disciplined and focused team environment.
