8 pages. BCCI's IPL honey-trap crackdown directive
BCCI's eight-page rules target honey-traps, vapes and unauthorized access with suspension threats.
BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia sent an eight-page letter to IPL franchises with strict guidelines on security and conduct. The document warns of honey-trap risks and bans unauthorised hotel access without team manager approval. Surprise checks will verify compliance during IPL 2026.
NDTV Sports noted that breaches trigger disciplinary actions like player suspensions or fines. Teams must brief players on protocols and maintain detailed logs of movements and visitors. Vaping faces outright prohibition alongside other behavior rules.
The directive addresses recent protocol lapses and aims to protect players from external threats. Franchises received copies for immediate implementation across remaining matches. BCCI emphasized legal consequences for repeated violations to safeguard league integrity.
