The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has recently introduced a new system in which players are participating Indian Premier League They were not allowed to travel to different cities or stay in the same hotel during the tournament. A report has revealed the logic behind implementing this rule, as one of the players' girlfriends was allegedly seen passing on team information to outsiders.
The BCCI observed some players and team officials meeting outsiders and unauthorized personnel in non-designated areas, raising the risk of the integrity of the league being at risk. According to the report, the girlfriend, who spread the information about the team, worried the team owner, after which he sought immediate help from BCCI in this regard. The Board has responded accordingly.
BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia said, “This time we have seen many anomalies and irregularities in the conduct of some franchises and players. So BCCI and IPL are preparing an advisory and we are going to issue that advisory this evening because we have seen that many unauthorized persons are roaming around with the team members.”
“And some people who are unauthorized are coming into the hotels and players' rooms or team officials' rooms, which is completely against our anti-corruption protocols. We have also seen that some team owners and officials are meeting with players in areas where that is not allowed. So there are some protocols that we have to follow, and we have seen that relaxed somewhat.
Saikia further explained, “We have taken it very seriously. We are issuing an advisory, and it will be followed very strictly. If there is any violation after this, the BCCI and IPL will take very strict action.”
