The Indian cricket team has landed in Dubai for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, but this time, they have traveled without their personal staff. The move comes after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) introduced new restrictions following the team’s disappointing tour of Australia.
BCCI Cuts Player Privileges After Australia Tour
Following India’s unsuccessful tour of Australia, the BCCI decided to cut down several player privileges, including personal staff allowances. As a result, Indian players had to travel to the UAE without their usual support team, including personal chefs and hairstylists.
Fans Give a Warm Welcome in Dubai
Despite the changes, Indian cricket fans in Dubai turned up in large numbers at the airport to welcome their favorite stars. The enthusiastic crowd cheered for the team as they arrived, showing unwavering support ahead of the tournament.
Players Must Adjust Without Personal Staff
Due to BCCI’s restrictions on foreign tours, Indian players were not allowed to bring their personal staff, making this tour different from previous ones. Cooks, hairdressers, and other personal assistants—who usually accompany the players—are missing this time.
One fan jokingly remarked, “Looks like the Indian stars will be spending more time on the pitch than at the salon this time!”
Team Heads to Hotel for Final Preparations
After landing, the Indian squad boarded the team bus together and left for their hotel to begin preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. With the tournament just around the corner, all eyes are on Team India as they gear up for the big event.
