BCCI plans action against IPL teams for norm violations

BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia announced plans for action against IPL teams violating norms per ESPNcricinfo. He referenced Rajasthan Royals incidents where the manager received a fine for phone use and Riyan Parag a penalty for vaping. The board explores further sanctions to protect IPL's image and maintain decorum amid rising player indiscipline.

Rajasthan Royals coach Kumar Sangakkara said the team addressed the issues internally per Times of India. Parag scored 90 from 50 balls in RR's 225 for 6 against DC despite the fine but focused on team performance over critics. DC chased 226 for a seven-wicket win with KL Rahul's 75. BCCI issued warnings after these breaches and eyes stricter measures if violations continue.

Saikia's statement follows other disciplinary actions like Kyle Jamieson's demerit for a send-off. RR faced multiple fines this season including for decorum lapses. The push signals BCCI's effort to enforce rules as IPL enters playoffs with heightened scrutiny on conduct. Teams must adhere to codes to avoid penalties that affect standings or finances.
