The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is taking decisive action to address unauthorized access issues within the Indian Premier League (IPL). BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia reported that unauthorized individuals have been found in team hotels and buses, mingling with players and officials in restricted areas. In response, the BCCI will issue new guidelines to all franchises aimed at reinforcing existing protocols. An orientation meeting with IPL team CEOs is scheduled to ensure compliance. Concerns have been raised about lax security measures, especially after incidents involving players like Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag and Punjab Kings bowler Yuzvendra Chahal, who were caught vaping in restricted areas. Additionally, the IPL final has been relocated from Bengaluru to Ahmedabad due to the Karnataka State Cricket Association's demand for an excessive number of complimentary tickets, which included requests for 10,000 additional tickets beyond the standard allotment.
