Process of permission from BCCI
A senior member of the team management spoke to BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia about this. In this discussion it was decided that since this tournament is small, if a player has to take his family along, he can inform the BCCI in which match he will take his family. After this, the BCCI will allow him.
Family will be together in a match
A BCCI official said that now all the players of the team will be in Dubai, and so in the beginning no player has taken his family along. Every player has been allowed to take the family along for only one match. The official also said that so far no player has sought permission to take the family.
