BCCI decides to restrict movement of players' girlfriends in IPL

The Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) has started preparing to make strict rules regarding the activities of players’ girlfriends in the IPL. According to Indian media reports, the board fears that the reputation of the league and the board is being affected by the activities of cricketers’ partners. At present, some players’ partners travel with the team, ride in the team bus and even stay in the team hotel, which the board has expressed strong displeasure over.

According to reports, many cricketers including Hardik Pandya, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ishan Kishan and Arshdeep Singh are seen with their partners, while some partners are also social media influencers who have been promoting various apps. According to sources, such cases have also reached police complaints in the past and there have also been delays in the movement of the team.

The BCCI has also informed the anti-corruption unit about this matter and regular rules will be introduced in the next meeting, which can be applied not only to the IPL but also to the Indian national team. Experts say that these rules will establish a clear boundary between the private and professional lives of players, but the decision is likely to elicit different reactions from players and fans.
