Former India captain Kapil Dev is in support of famililes travelling with cricketers on tours, but has also called for a balanced approach in dealing with the contentious issue that has divided opinions.

Following India’s 1-3 Test series loss to Australia, the BCCI issued a directive limiting the duration of family visits on tours lasting more than 45 days, allowing a maximum of 14 days of family time. For shorter tours, players could bring their families for a maximum of one week.
