Rohit Sharma unwittingly revealed player concerns over the new BCCI SOPs family policy on Saturday.

Speaking during the press conference regarding India's squad selection for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, Sharma, unaware his microphone was still active, inadvertently revealed player discontent with a newly implemented BCCI policy regarding family stays during tours.

Sharma was in conversation with chief selector Ajit Agarkar when he said, "After the press conference, I have to sit with the secretary to discuss the family role. People are calling me."

Meanwhile, Rohit also stated that he shares a healthy equation with head coach Gautam Gambhir.

"Both of us are very clear about what we wanted to do. I am not going to sit here and discuss what goes behind the scenes, every game tactically. But, it's very clear in my mind. But Gautam Gambhir is pretty... once we enter the field, he trusts what the captain is doing on the field," he said.

"The basic talk that happens is only off the field. On the ground or maybe in the changing room, once we take the field, it's all about what I do on the field. That's the kind of trust we have in each other. That's how it should be. That's about it," Rohit added.

The India captain also confirmed that he will be playing in the Ranji Trophy but also reminded that players also need time off to manage themselves amidst the busy cricketing calendar.

"For the last 6-7 years, if you look at our calendar, we haven't been sitting home for 45 days when cricket has been going on. You do get time when IPL finishes when nothing happens after that. Our domestic season begins in October and ends in March. Guys who are not playing all formats and when there's domestic cricket happening, they can play," he said.

"For me personally, since I've started playing Test cricket regularly, you hardly get time. When you regularly play international cricket, you need time off to refresh. Nobody takes it for granted"," he added.
