Overview
- BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said Thursday the board will release an advisory in the evening that warns of strict action and tightens accreditation and access rules.
- The Anti-Corruption Unit flagged unauthorised people in team buses, hotels, and even dugouts, and a meeting of franchise CEOs is set for this weekend to reinforce protocols.
- The advisory is expected to confine dressing rooms, dugouts, team buses, and other match zones to accredited staff only with tougher hotel security and travel checks.
- Officials highlighted concern about players’ partners and influencer-linked visitors because of potential information leaks, while immediate family is generally allowed under existing rules.
- Recent discipline underscores enforcement, with Rajasthan Royals’ manager fined for phone use in the dugout and captain Riyan Parag penalised for vaping, and further action remains possible.
