The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has brought about a new batch of stringent rules prior to the eagerly awaited Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season. Reports have stated that the new rules aim at strengthening discipline and having consistency among the teams, with some of the most significant changes involving prohibiting family members from entering dressing rooms and requiring all players to travel together through the team bus.
Players’ relatives forbidden inside dressing room
Family members were quite frequently seen inside the dressing rooms communicating with their loved ones in matches previously played by them during various seasons. Since professionalism and seriousness must prevail as well as have a safety component attached, a full-scale prohibition against allowing the players’ family members or private visitors within the dressing rooms has now been installed by the BCCI. This move is said to be meant to cause minimal distractions for the players, especially during tense matches and playoff games. The action has already triggered responses from a number of quarters, but BCCI feels that it will serve to preserve a contained environment amidst the congested IPL calendar.
Forced team bus transportation for all players
Another major update from BCCI’s revised rulebook is that all players, regardless of their seniority or status, are now required to travel exclusively with their teams on the official bus to and from the stadium. This includes star players, overseas cricketers, and captains who, in the past, were occasionally seen arriving separately due to personal schedules or promotional events. The regulation has been brought in for security, cohesion, and time management purposes, to ensure that no player is left out of the group atmosphere prior to important games.
Seeking discipline and safety
Sources within the BCCI have come out and said that these regulations have been introduced after witnessing coordination lapses, particularly in the 2024 season. The board is eager to see that IPL 2025 goes off without a hitch with a few controversies. Travel plans and security measures are now being closely watched, and the overall movement of teams is viewed as critical to staying away from any outside distractions.
Players’ response awaited
Though the formal player reaction to these new rules has yet to come in, initial reports hint at a mixed response. Some players are said to enjoy the increased discipline, while others, especially those who are accustomed to having family with them during games, may take some time to adapt.
As IPL 2025 draws near, fans can look forward to not just exciting matches but also an organized and disciplined tournament.
