The BCCI has implemented stricter guidelines for IPL 2026, building on previous directives to create a more detailed operational code for franchises. These guidelines cover training access, match-day preparation, support staff movement, and presentation protocols. The new addendum specifies that teams will have limited access to practice areas and main squares, with restrictions on open nets and practice on match days. Only accredited staff will be allowed in dressing rooms and on the field during practice days, with specific rules for player conduct and team travel. The addendum also includes regulations for match days, such as wearing orange and purple caps, seating arrangements for support staff, and clothing requirements during post-match presentations. These guidelines aim to ensure a structured and disciplined approach to IPL team operations, emphasizing the importance of following the set protocols for training, match preparation, and presentation procedures.
