BCCI Censures IPL Franchises over Unauthorised Access
The board is weighing action after ACU intelligence flagged unauthorised access in dugouts, buses and hotels, with the Rajasthan Royals vaping probe still open.
- On Thursday, the BCCI issued strict seven-page guidelines to all 10 IPL franchises, demanding adherence to protocols regarding restricted zones like team dugouts, buses, and hotels.
- BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia warned that unauthorized persons were spotted in restricted team areas, stating norms established since 2008 have been ignored. "We wouldn't allow them to be casual," he said.
- The Anti-Corruption Unit , led by retired IPS officer Sharad Kumar, flagged intelligence beyond two officially confirmed incidents involving Rajasthan Royals, including a manager using a phone in the dugout and captain Riyan Parag's viral vaping video.
- Franchise CEOs will meet with board officials this weekend to reinforce compliance protocols, with officials warning that further violations will face no leniency and teams must tightly control restricted access.
- As IPL 2026 approaches its decisive stages, the BCCI remains focused on tournament integrity, as the league's global stature means even minor lapses attract significant scrutiny from the anti-corruption framework.
