Overview
- Reports published Monday say BCCI will take proposals to its next meeting to restrict girlfriends staying or traveling with players during the IPL.
- Officials stress that wives and immediate family are permitted under existing guidance, while new rules under review would bar girlfriends from team hotels.
- The push follows concerns that some partners are social‑media influencers who have promoted betting apps, raising risks of leaks and integrity breaches.
- A senior official questioned ACU field practice that allowed “officially announced girlfriends,” saying no such provision exists and that clear instructions are needed.
- BCCI aims to issue central guidelines for all privately run franchises and may align national-team tours later, though enforcement details and timing remain undecided.
