The Indian Premier League's (IPL) Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) has raised alarms over the presence of unauthorized individuals in critical areas such as team dugouts, buses, and hotels during the ongoing season. IPL chairman Arun Dhumal confirmed that a report detailing these anomalies has been submitted to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). In response, the BCCI is reminding franchises of the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that must be adhered to in order to preserve the integrity of the tournament. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia noted that there have been various irregularities, including team owners and officials being seen in players' restricted areas, which is against established protocols. To address these issues, the BCCI will issue an advisory, emphasizing the importance of compliance with anti-corruption measures. Any future violations will result in stringent actions against those responsible.
