Sports2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported59m ago
England’s men’s cricket team has officially ended its midnight curfew policy under the leadership of newly appointed Test captain Joe Root. The restriction, which had been in effect for seven months, was originally implemented by managing director Rob Key following a series of controversial late-night incidents during the team's winter tours.
The removal of the curfew marks a shift in team management protocols as Root begins his tenure as captain. The policy was initially established during the leadership of predecessor Ben Stokes to address behavioral concerns that occurred while the team was traveling.
