The Indian Cricket Board has barred wives and family members of cricket players from accompanying them for not more than 14 days on a 45-day long tour, alongside making it compulsory for all team members to travel together in the team bus. Per the latest report, the board issued these mandates to ensure better connectivity among players, leading to improved team performance.
Per a report in Dainik Jagran, the board reintroduced an old rule, scrapped during the Covid period, banning players from staying with their families on the away tours, which impacts their performances. Even during the recently concluded Australian tour Down Under, wives and family members of several cricketers were there with them during the five-match series.

Though the new rules bars WAGs and family members from staying beyond a fortnight, on the shorter tours, the duration is reduced to seven days.
Moreover, the board is aware of several players opting to travel separately rather than doing it together with the team.
"Keeping in view the team unity, now all the players will travel by the team bus only. No matter how big a player is, he will not be allowed to travel separately," read the report.
<h2>BCCI bans Gambhir&rsquo;s manager</h2>
Until now, never before in Indian cricket did a coach&rsquo;s manager travel along with the side, stay in the same hotel, and even have access to VIP box in stadiums, but Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir&rsquo;s manager, Gaurav Arora, was doing all of this.
The Indian Cricket Board was made aware of the situation and acted swiftly, banning Arora from being part of it.
<h2>England series, Champions Trophy next</h2>
Team India failed to qualify for the WTC Final 2025 following losing the away BGT Down Under for the first time in ten years.
Despite winning the first Test in Perth, India conceded the lead, going down (1-3), and with that, lost the chance to make it to their third straight WTC Final.
However, with England&rsquo;s white-ball series and the Champions Trophy coming up, the Men in Blue are in line to put the past miseries behind them and go for the glory.
India will take on England in five T20Is and three ODIs starting January 22 in Kolkata and begin their Champions Trophy campaign against Bangladesh on February 20 in Dubai.&nbsp;

No WAGs, travelling together among several updates in BCCI’s mandate

In a first, Spain announced its plans to launch an application which will help wives in tracking the number of household chores being performed by their husbands. 
 
The new application aims to address the gender imbalance in housework and will log the hours spent by a family member performing household chores. 
 
Spain's minister for gender equality and domestic violence Angela Rodriguez said that her department working on the development of the free application. 
 
The minister stated that the application would enable women and men to log the number of hours they are spending in the house doing the chores.

<h2> 
Govt plans to launch app in summer</h2>

The government is planning to release the application in the summer which will be launched as part of its 'co-responsibility plan'. “We women spend more time on domestic tasks than men,” said Rodriguez said, The Times reported. 
 
The minister was addressing a conference in Geneva which was discussing discrimination against women. A report was presented by the minister on women's rights in Spain at the convention. 
 
Rodriguez said that around half of the women who participated in a survey carried out by Spain's National Statistics Institute stated the majority of their household chores are performed by them. 
 
Comparatively, less than 15 per cent of men stated that they did the maximum house chores. 
 
The disparity in the division of housework has led to legal rows in Spain. In April 2017, a man was ordered to pay his ex-wife over €23,000 (almost $25,000) by a court in Cantabria for the household chores she did in their six years of marriage. 
 
Earlier this year, a businessman was ordered by a court in Velez-Malaga to pay his ex-wife €204,624.86 (around $220,318) for performing unpaid domestic labour in 25 years of their marriage based on the minimum wage. 
 
Now, the companies are bidding to lead the new project hoping that the application will soon be developed in the months ahead.

A budget of €211,750 (almost $227,990) has been set aside by the government for the development of the application, reported Spain's ABC newspaper. 
 
It is hoped that the application will bring into focus the 'invisible tasks' that women undertake in their houses as well as the 'mental load' they go through while running the home. 
 
Citing the example of cleaning the kitchen, the gender equality minister said that women often carry out this task and also think about buying extra washing-up liquid as well as making sure enough food is available in the house.

Pakistani PM Shehbaz Sharif, predecessor Imran Khan’s wives richer than husbands, says data

<a href="http://www.wionews.com/opinions/saudi-arabia-and-the-wests-right-wing-a-dubious-alliance-187880">Saudi Arabia</a> on Saturday defended a mobile app that allows men in the kingdom to track female relatives after rights groups and a US lawmaker criticised tech giants for offering it.

The Absher app provides services for "all members of the society... including women, the elderly, and people with special needs", the interior ministry said.

The free app is available on Android and Apple smartphones and allows users to renew passports, visas and eases a variety of other electronic services.

But critics have said the app enables abuse against <a href="http://www.wionews.com/photos/saudi-arabia-hosts-its-first-arab-fashion-week-129802#arab-fashion-week-129800">women and girls</a> by allowing men to track their movements.

Apple CEO Tim Cook told US National Public Radio earlier this week he had not heard of the app, but would "take a look at it".

US Senator Ron Wyden has called on both Apple and Google to remove the app, arguing on Twitter that it promotes "abusive practises against women".

Under Saudi law, women must have consent from a husband or immediate male relative to renew passports or leave the country.

The ministry criticised what it called a "systematic campaign aimed at questioning the purpose of the services".

It rejected what it described as "attempts to politicise" the tool.

This comes as Saudi Arabia faces intense scrutiny over the shocking murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi last year, which has renewed criticism of the kingdom's rights record.

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has garnered international attention with his rapid rise to power and promise of social and economic reforms.

But the kingdom has detained a number of human rights and women campaigners, some of them accused of undermining national security, with scant public information about their whereabouts or the legal status of their cases.
