Indian coach Gautam Gambhir stood with the new family rule BCCI and said that the only purpose of players is to make the nation proud. BCCI introduced a new set of instructions for players after a catastrophic trophy Border-Gavascar in Australia, which has seen that India is defeated 1-3.
Then BCCI sets a new ruleWhich limits the time spent with families with players. According to revised rules, families can accompany players for only 14 days during tournaments lasting 45 days or more. For shorter tours, family stays are limited to a maximum of seven days. Virat Kohli was someone who was very loud about the rule And he admitted he wasn’t his fan. Kohli said he didn’t want to go back to his room and sit and disheveled without his family around.
Gambhir spoke to Cheteshwar Pujara in a special interview and said that players should know that they are not on vacation and are here to represent the nation. While the coach of India admitted that he did not mind having families around, the main focus must be on cricket and said that players should be committed to the goal.
“Families are important, but you have to understand one thing. You are here for the purpose. It’s not a holiday. You are here for a huge purpose. You have very few people in that dressing room or on this tour that will get this opportunity to be proud. So yes, I’m not against families with us.”
“It is important to have families, but if you focus on our country proud and you have a much greater role than any other thing, and you are determined by this goal, you are determined by this reason, I think everything else is fine.
How does Gambhir turn off from his work?
Gambhir was asked by a loan to turn off after the game, and the Indian coach said he was trying. Gambhir takes as an example of Edgbaston’s test victory and said he was already thinking before the game at Lord and what should be for the game.
“That’s a difficult question. I still didn’t understand how I would turn off because I never turned off and sometimes it’s very fun and it’s very strange. Honestly, when we won the last test match, when we won the last test match, the first thing that came to me
“And when I returned to my room, I wondered how it works? We just won the test match. The guys were working hard to return after the first, I started thinking about what would be the combination, how can we win more?
