Devajit Saikia also raised concerns regarding the unauthorized movement of players and support staff outside team hotels during the IPL season. He criticized situations where players left hotels without informing designated security officials, warning that such actions could create major security risks.
“Instances have been noted of players and support staff leaving team hotels at irregular hours without informing the designated Security Liaison Officers (SLOs) or Team Integrity Officer (TIOs). Such departures create significant security vulnerabilities and expose individuals to risks that cannot be mitigated if the relevant personnel are uninformed,” the advisory stated.
The BCCI has directed all players and support staff to inform and obtain approval from both the Security Liaison Officer and Team Integrity Officer before leaving team hotels for personal or leisure activities. Team managers have also been asked to maintain detailed daily movement of exits and guest visits.
The Use Of Vapes And Electronic Cigarettes Is Prohibited - Devajit Saikia
Without naming Riyan Parag, Devajit Saikia addressed the recent vaping incident. He reminded teams that the use of vapes and electronic cigarettes is prohibited under Indian law and warned that violations could lead to legal consequences as well as disciplinary action from the tournament authorities.
“Instances of vaping within the dressing room and other restricted areas of tournament venues have been brought to the BCCI's attention. It is pertinent to note that the use of vapes and electronic cigarettes is prohibited under applicable Indian law."
"Any individual found engaging in such conduct within tournament premises is not only violating BCCI and IPL regulations but may also be committing a cognisable offence under the applicable statutory framework,” the advisory stated.
The advisory also mentioned concerns regarding individuals showing reluctance during mandatory accreditation checks at venues. Saikia warned franchise owners against approaching or interacting with players inside the dugout area during live matches.
