In response to rising concerns about corruption and protocol breaches, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has tightened regulations regarding social media activity during the Indian Premier League (IPL). An eight-page directive was issued, highlighting the need to curb the increasing trend of players, commentators, and team officials creating content during matches. Reports indicate that BCCI intervened when a former international cricketer filmed videos near the team dugout, and there have been reminders for commentators to refrain from similar actions. The board has expressed intentions to send legal notices to those violating these guidelines, particularly targeting individuals wearing official BCCI and IPL attire. Additionally, players have been cautioned against sharing clips from team travels and other match-day activities, as this has led to potential breaches of player lineups. Family members of players are also restricted from posting images or videos during the tournament to maintain confidentiality and integrity.
