IPL 2022: Breaching Covid rules will attract serious sanctions

IPL 2022 sanctions

Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) appears to be cracking down on Covid violators in IPL 2022 and thus any bubble breach will result in sanctions. Players and team officials who break protocol during the IPL 2022 will face severe penalties, ranging from a one-match penalty to a seven-day re-quarantine to even exclusion from the event. A violation of the bubble by a player’s or match official’s family member will result in even harsher penalties.

More stringently, if a team knowingly permits an outsider into the team bubble, it might be fined up to Rs 1 crore for the first infringement, with consecutive lapses resulting in a one- or two-point reduction from the team’s total.

Taking into consideration the necessity to impose the Covid rule, BCCI said

“The COVID-19 pandemic poses a serious threat to the health of individuals and the cooperation, commitment and adherence by each Person Subject To These Operational Rules to the measure put in place to provide a safe environment is of paramount importance,”

Further, the sanctions are being divided into 3 offence categories.
