The India captain asked reporters, “Who told you about these rules? Has it come from BCCI?”

Rohit Sharma reacted to a question about the BCCI’s 10-point diktat, which came after India’s disastrous run in the 2024/25 season. The India captain did not seem interested in addressing reports about the Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) implementing strict rules for players to adhere to during tours.

BCCI puts out a 10-point diktat for players.

As reported by Hindustan Times, the BCCI put out a 10-point diktat to “promote discipline, unity and a positive team environment while ensuring professional standards and operational efficiency during tours and series.” The diktat came after India’s disastrous run in the 2024/25 season in which they lost an ODI series to Sri Lanka for the first time since 1997, faced a loss of 0-3 against New Zealand at home in a Test series and conceded the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the first time in a decade.

Rohit Sharma and chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar announced the squad for India’s upcoming ODI series against England and, more crucially, the 2025 Champions Trophy during the press conference. During their conference, a reporter asked about the diktat to Rohit, to which the India captain said, “Who told you about these rules? Has it come from the official handle of the BCCI? Let it come officially.”

Ajit Agarkar also speaks about the diktat.

Agarkar spoke about the issue earlier as well in the press conference. He said, “I suppose every team has some rules in place. We’ve spoken about various things you see over the last few months where you can improve as a team and where you can get a bit closer as a team. It’s not a school. It’s not a punishment. It’s just you have some rules in place, and when you’re playing for the national team, you just follow those rules. Again, these are mature individuals. They are superstars in their own rights in international sport.”
