BCCI Bars Families for 2026 T20 WC Tour: Why Players Won't Have Loved Ones

• BCCI maintains strict policy: Indian players' families not allowed on 2026 T20 World Cup tour.
• Rule implemented after 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy loss to Australia, despite team management requests.
• Families permitted only for maximum 14 days on overseas tours exceeding 45 days; T20 WC doesn't qualify.
• Players' families can make separate arrangements but cannot stay with the team.
• Policy shift from post-COVID norms due to concerns about players skipping team meetings to spend time with families.
