The new rules of IPL 2026 remain a topic of discussion. Everyone wants to know why BCCI suddenly had to bring strict rules. You will get answers to all your questions in this report. Know here in detail what things have been banned in IPL 2026, and why this decision had to be taken.

Making reels in restricted areas, joking without security clearance and players’ closeness to social media influencers. These were the reasons due to which BCCI had to issue strict advisories and now IPL teams are trying to follow them without compromising on privacy. The board’s anti-corruption unit warned about unauthorized guests in the hotel rooms of players, support staff and team officials and also cautioned that it could be a ‘honey trap’.

As a result, BCCI issued an advisory, in which it has been made mandatory for the players to inform the security authorities about their activities along with the ban on guests. The major cases of its violation involve players’ proximity to influencers, whose services are taken for short periods for the purpose of creating social media content for the participating teams.

In one incident, one of the team’s younger players asked a new member of the content team to help him create reels, take videos and photos to post on his personal social media accounts.

It is not new for a player to take outside help to create neo-media content but in this particular case, the blogger used some videos and pictures on his personal account to get ‘traction’.

The shoot was done within the boundaries, featuring scenes of team practice and other on-field activities. Later, there are also scenes from the player’s hotel room.

A franchise official told PTI, we have received instructions from BCCI about the new rules and measures are being taken to comply with them. New players are very active on social media and this is a modern trend which has to be accepted, but within the limits set by BCCI. It is not possible to monitor every activity of people. This is an issue. We are making players and content teams aware of BCCI rules and the consequences of breaking them.

He further said, we are also reducing the number of content team members. Especially those who are appointed for two-three months during the IPL season. Senior players know about the rules and how to follow them. Cricketers playing IPL for the first time are not aware of the seriousness of the situation. They want likes and comments on social media by following stars. Therefore they have to be made aware.

The board’s concerns over unauthorized guests in the rooms of players and support staff deepened when recently another player was found hosting a few people in his room, often late at night. BCCI’s ACU official summoned the team manager, but the reply was not satisfactory. The manager tried to defend the player by citing his seniority in the team.

A former official who has worked as a team manager in IPL for a long time said, I am not surprised. Many times players take advantage of their height and ignore the rules. I once told a player to meet his friends in the lobby restaurant and not in his room. On this he said, don’t worry, I will tell the board officials if they ask.

In another incident, a player did not respond to the call of the team official, who knocked on the door of his room to give information. The player came to the hotel late at night with his friends, but this matter was suppressed because the player is considered close to the team owners.
