The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has created a 14-day window for the wives and girlfriends (WAGs) during the cricketers’ overseas tours. However, the window will begin after the first two weeks of the tours.
As currently, the Indian cricketers are touring in the UK, their WAGs have joined with them. While most of the WAGs have left, some of are still with their partners. On the other hand, BCCI has set a new rule for the WAGs during the overseas tours as they can join the partners for any 14 days, but after the first two weeks of the tours.

According to a Mumbai Mirror report, a source has informed, “In the event of the 45-day tour, the BCCI did not want a fixed slot for the WAGs. It may or may not suit all of them. So, we’ve decided that the ladies can join their men for any 14 days during the tour after the first two weeks.”

On the other hand, after the few days of abnormally hot weather in the UK, some rains bring a relief. Prior to the Test series, India just played a three-day warm-up game against Essex at County Ground (Chelmsford) that ended early due to the rain.
Later, while the Indian cricket team has reached Birmingham to play the first Test of five-match Test series, rain has welcomed them.
A team India source told, “It is raining now and the weather is fine.”
He was asked whether the team management is thinking again about the team strategy for the first Test due to changing the weather condition.
In reply, the source said, “We need to check the wicket and look at the weather also. We will see the conditions tomorrow.”
