The Tata Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 will enter its 50th match tonight. Before the match, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Devjit Saikia will issue a stern notice to the owners and the opposition against the “girlfriend culture” in Indian cricket. Girlfriends of many cricketers are often seen hanging out with the team.
Hardik Pandya, Arshdeep Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ishan Kishan have been spotted with their girlfriends, traveling with the team and staying in hotels during the IPL, and there are also owners like Lucknow Super Giants owner Sanjiv Goenka, who looks most animated when his franchise plays and even enters restricted areas. Due to this, BCCI is preparing to implement new strict rules.
BCCI and IPL are preparing an advisory – BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia
BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia says, “I would like to announce one more thing. This time, we have noticed several anomalies and irregularities in the actions of some franchises as well as some players. Therefore, BCCI and IPL are preparing an advisory, which we are going to issue this evening. We have noticed that many unauthorized persons are roaming with the team members or traveling in the team buses.”
“Some unauthorized persons are also entering hotels and going into players’ rooms or team officials’ rooms, which is completely against our anti-corruption protocols. We have also observed that some team owners and officials are meeting with players in areas where they are not allowed to be present.”
