BCCI Bans Match-day Practice, Tightens Rules Ahead Of IPL 2026 Opener
The Indian Premier League: The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 is set to be played under stricter operational rules as the governing body, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), has introduced new regulations to improve team conduct and logistics during the tournament. According to a report by Cricbuzz, these updated guidelines build on earlier directives issued on March 12. The focus now includes tighter controls on player movement, access rules, and match-day discipline. The new rules were shared with franchises on Tuesday, just before the season opener on March 28, where defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will face Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). One key aspect of the revised framework is the total ban on practice sessions on match days. Teams must limit all preparations to specific nets during approved times. Open practice is no longer allowed, and franchises cannot use pitches assigned to other teams, even if they are available earlier. Each team will get two nets and one side wicket on the main square. Special arrangements are in place for venues like Mumbai, where two wickets will be available per team for simultaneous practice. Fitness drills and tests are also banned on match days, and only players and approved staff can access practice areas. Family members must stay in hospitality zones. The BCCI has tightened rules around team movement and support staff roles. Players can only travel to practice sessions on the team bus, and family members cannot join them. Franchises must provide details of net bowlers and throwdown specialists for board approval. On match days, all support staff must have accreditation cards with them at all times, and there are warnings and fines for any violations. Additional instructions restrict players from hitting LED advertising boards during practice. Players also cannot sit in front of these boards, and there are specific seating arrangements for substitutes. The updated rules also cover broadcast and presentation standards. Orange Cap and Purple Cap holders must wear their caps on match days, or at least during the opening overs for visibility on broadcast.

'When Cricket Australia Is Happy, He Will Come Over': RCB On Hazlewood's Availability For IPL 2026
When Cricket Australia: Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) director of cricket Mo Bobat has said that Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood will join the squad for the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) only after Cricket Australia is satisfied with his recovery. Bobat also said that the franchise is closely coordinating with CA and medical teams as the fast bowler continues his return-to-play programme in Australia. Hazlewood, who played a crucial role in RCB's triumphant campaign in the IPL 2025, has not played a match since injuring his hamstring in the Sheffield Shield last November. He also missed the recently concluded T20 World Cup 2026 due to not attaining full recovery. The 35-year-old pacer is currently managed by Cricket Australia and is set to miss the opening matches of the IPL 2026. His return date is yet to be confirmed. As most people would know, Josh has missed quite a bit of cricket recently with injuries, so he's currently working through a return-to-play programme. He's doing that in Australia currently. We are liaising with both Josh and Cricket Australia, and our medical teams are collaborating very strongly on a day-to-day basis on his programme, Bobat told the media during a press conference on Tuesday. We'll continue to communicate with them, and as soon as he gets to a point where Cricket Australia are happy, he'll come over, and we hope to have him with us very soon, he added. Despite Hazlewood missing the opening matches and Yash Dayal being ruled out of the whole season due to personal reasons, Bobat believes that the team has many good bowling options and it will not be impacted. We'll continue to communicate with them, and as soon as he gets to a point where Cricket Australia are happy, he'll come over, and we hope to have him with us very soon, he added.

Yash Dayal Ruled Out Of IPL 2026 Due To Personal Reasons: RCB
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) have been dealt a blow ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 as the franchise confirmed on Tuesday that the fast bowler Yash Dayal will miss the entire tournament due to personal reasons. Dayal's absence from the training sessions and his not featuring on the team bus poster had already sparked rumours over his absence, with many wondering where the bowler was. Now RCB's director of cricket, Mo Bobat, has cleared all the doubts over his absence. Bobat has also said that despite Dayal not taking part in the tournament, he will still be a part of the contract, and the team management will continue to support the player in tough times. So, just to confirm that Yash will not be joining up with the squad. As you know, he is going through a personal situation currently, and just to clarify, we've been very supportive of Yash to date and that's reflected in the fact that we retained him when we had the opportunity to either retain or release players. We wanted to retain him, and he remains under contract and will continue in the short term to remain under contract, Bobat told the media during a press conference on Tuesday. We are communicating with him regularly. I spoke to him earlier today as well, but it has been decided that it is not in his best interest or the franchise's best interest for him to join up with us at this point. He retains our support, and he remains under contract, and we'll continue to speak to him as he goes through his personal situation, he added. Dayal, recently tied the knot with social media influencer Shweta Pundir in a primate ceremony, has been at the centre of major controversies of late. He was denied anticipatory bail a few months ago after he was involved in a case where he allegedly raped a minor. He retains our support, and he remains under contract, and we'll continue to speak to him as he goes through his personal situation, he added.
