BCCI‘s diktat to limit family time on international tours hasn’t gone down well with batting superstar Virat Kohli who criticised the decision during an event recently. The BCCI though responded and maintained it will stick to its decision. Now, the wife of legendary India cricketer Yuvraj Singh, Hazel Keech, has thrown her weight behind the updated policy arguing that it benefits both the players and the family.
Hazel cited the example of Yuvraj and recalled how the allrounder used to get distracted when she watched him play.
“I can understand when Yuvi was playing international cricket, moving from one tournament to another, and he would be away for a long time,” Keech told news agency ANI. “For families with small children, it was difficult to be apart for so long. But when I used to watch his matches, Yuvi would always be concerned about me, which affected his focus on the game. So, allowing families to join for a limited time is beneficial in both ways.”
