The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to enforce stricter guidelines in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season due to rising security concerns and violations of anti-corruption protocols. BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla announced that new regulations will control player access, preventing unauthorized individuals from interacting with players in hotels and during transport. This decision follows reports of anomalies involving players and franchise officials, with unauthorized individuals entering secure areas and interacting with team members. Disciplinary actions have already been taken, including fines against Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag for vaping in the dressing room and manager Ravinder Singh Bhinder for using a mobile phone near the dugout. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia highlighted the need for these measures to maintain the integrity of the tournament.
