No immediate decision on Virat Kohli's request to allow wives on tours

NEW DELHI: Reacting to captain Virat Kohli’s request to allow wives of cricketers to stay for the entire duration of India's overseas tours, sources in the Supreme-Court appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) on Sunday told ANI that the committee is not going to take any immediate decision on the request.
"Yes he (Virat) had requested, but we are not going to take any decision soon.We have said that we will leave it to the new office bearers. The policy will not change now," ANI said in its tweet quoting sources in the CoA.
CoA’s reply came after media reports said Kohli has put forth a request before the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to allow wives of players to extend their stay during overseas tours.
Earlier this year, the BCCI had announced that wives and girlfriends of cricketers will be allowed to stay with their partners for a duration of two weeks while the team is touring overseas.
According to reports, CoA has also asked Indian cricket team manager Sunil Subramaniam to make a formal request to change the rule.
India are currently involved in a home series against the West Indies, which includes two Tests, five ODIs and three T20Is. India won the first Test in Rajkot.
The team's next overseas assignment is the tour of Australia, which begins on November 21 this year.
