BCCI Issues Seven-Page Crackdown on IPL Team Access and Conduct

The move follows ACU findings of unauthorised access across dugouts, team buses, hotels.

Overview

  • The BCCI sent a seven-page advisory to all franchises on Thursday night, ordering tight visitor controls, movement logs, visible accreditation and surprise compliance checks.
  • The rules block outsiders from players’ rooms, team buses, dressing rooms and other restricted zones, with any room visit needing prior written approval from the team manager and meetings steered to hotel lobbies.
  • The advisory warns of targeted compromise and honey-trap attempts that could lead to serious legal complaints under sexual misconduct laws, urging teams to stay alert.
  • The board reinforced conduct rules by banning vaping and e‑cigarettes at venues and hotels, pointing to this season’s fines for Riyan Parag and Rajasthan Royals official Romi Bhinder as evidence of lapses.
  • Officials said ACU reports of unauthorised people in secure areas triggered the action, while media claims that a partner leaked team information remain unconfirmed by the BCCI.
