IPL's ACSU flags irregularities
The IPL’s Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) has raised objections regarding the presence of unauthorised individuals in restricted areas meant only for players and match officials in the ongoing season of the IPL. According to the concerns put out by the ACSU, "unauthorised" people were found inside team dugouts, team buses, hotels, and the Players and Match Officials Area (PMOA). IPL chairman Arun Dhumal confirmed that a report had been submitted to the BCCI by ACSU.
"The Anti-Corruption and Security Unit has flagged certain anomalies and submitted a report about unauthorised persons being seen in dugout, team bus and team hotel during IPL matches. There are certain protocols under PMOA that need to be followed and the BCCI will be telling the franchises to be mindful of the SOPs so that the sanctity of the tournament is restored,” Dhumal told PTI.
BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia also admitted that there had been irregularities during the current season.
"This time, we have observed various anomalies and irregularities in the conduct of certain franchises and players. So BCCI and IPL are preparing an advisory, and we are going to release that advisory because we have noticed that there are a lot of unauthorised persons who are moving along with the team members. And some people who are unauthorised are coming to the hotels and to the players' rooms or the team officials' room, which is totally against our anti-corruption protocols,” Saikia told ANI.
