A fresh set of rules are set to be implemented on the India Cricket Team. While the travel duration of the wives of the cricketers has been cut short, a new rule has also been implemented. As per reports, the new rule states that every player must be traveling in the team bus. Former cricketer Aakash Chopra is bewildered as to how these old rules were changed previously. He has also questioned if this rule was changed according to the wishes of a particular cricketer.
“The first report, which I liked, was that all players will travel in the team bus, and I am thinking this has been happening forever. The team bus has been named team bus because of that only, as the entire team will travel in it. At least until we were playing cricket, the team used to travel only in the team bus,” Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel.

All players should travel in Team Bus
“It’s a very normal thing. It’s par for the course. It has to happen like that. It’s like telling someone that you would get breakfast and not lunch in the morning. However, if this has been said, it means some rules had been changed and would have especially been changed for some individuals,” Chopra added.
Aakash Chopra has claimed that it was a huge disservice to the team. He argued that the name “team bus” has been given for a specific purpose. He claimed that it is a huge disservice given how players are treated differently. He further added, that there us no way a team can give 15 different vehicles to the players. Chopra also added this new rule couldn’t have taken place without the approval of head coach, Gautam Gambhir.
“Whoever did that has made a slight joke with Indian cricket and did a huge disservice because how can you treat people differently, or else you didn’t treat them differently but gave the entire team the allowance to come in 15 separate vehicles. It wouldn’t have happened without the coach’s approval,” he said.
