The BCCI has issued strict guidelines for India’s centrally-contracted cricketers, making participation in domestic tournaments mandatory for selection. Family stays during tours are restricted to 14 days on trips exceeding 45 days, while endorsement shoots are banned during series to avoid distractions. Players must travel using team buses, attend full practice sessions, and remain with the team until tour completion. Violators may face disciplinary actions, including IPL bans and deductions in match fees. The policy aims to enhance discipline, cohesion, and focus. Senior players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are yet to confirm domestic cricket participation.
