Players' families are likely to have points deprived as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) considers changes to the way teams are run. The board reportedly recommends limiting family time to field trips, especially during long deployments. The changes reportedly came after India head coach Gautam Gambhir said there was a need to tackle "indiscipline" in the squad. Gambhir reportedly feels that the current squad is too undisciplined and the coach wants stricter guidelines. “Gautam Gambhir speaks about indiscipline in the Indian dressing room after the Border series loss to Gavaskar during the debriefing session. BCCI will revert to pre-Covid rules two weeks after the tour. The reason we allow family members to come with us is indiscipline. According to a source, Gautham and the players agreed on the issue of family accommodation.

Senior players of the Indian team, who were present at the meeting along with coach Gautam Gambhir and head coach Ajit Agarkar, urged the BCCI chiefs not to immediately distribute the match fee to the players. Rather, you should pay attention to their performance before paying out the funds. He continued: One of the senior players who was present at this meeting suggested to the Football Association not to distribute the tournament fee immediately, but that some players do not give priority to their domestic and national activities, which is why we suggested that the players' performance should be paid be noticed This report claims to calculate before paying for the game. The report also claimed that only one full team dinner was held during the Indian team's stay in Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Players were often seen going out in groups and Gambhir didn't particularly like the sight. Not only has the BCCI suggested rule changes to the players, Gambhir's personal manager has also been asked to stop staying at the team hotel or VIP box. Gambhir's personal assistant also had his privileges revoked by the board.
