The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is worried about the growing trend of cricketers bringing their girlfriends to the Indian Premier League (IPL) matches. According to Indian media, the BCCI has decided to limit the movement of cricketers’ girlfriends to maintain discipline and prevent any potential issues.

The BCCI has started making new rules to curb this culture, as some girlfriends are social media influencers who have promoted various betting apps.
A BCCI official stated that in the past, there have been instances where the relationships between players and their girlfriends have led to police complaints. If this trend is not controlled, it may lead to bigger issues. The team’s bus schedule has been delayed due to the girlfriends, and the BCCI official said that there is no official policy for girlfriends, but they have informed the anti-corruption unit, and new rules will be presented at the next BCCI meeting.
