The Board of Control for Cricket in India has implemented some new rules before the beginning of the 18th season of the upcoming Indian Premier League, in which some rules have been replaced. The first match of the IPL 2025 season starting on March 22 will be played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore team at the Eden Gardens Stadium. At the same time, the BCCI has decided to change the rules of ban on captains in the case of violation of the slow over rate rule after a meeting with all the 10 captains held in Mumbai on 20 March.
Now demerit points will join the captains’ account
The BCCI has now decided to add a demerit point to their account in case of violation of the slow over rate rule on captains in the IPL. According to the report of the cricbing, now the captains will be given demerit points like ICC rules in the slow over rate rule which will last for three years. This new rule will now reduce the risk of banning the captains. Violation of Level 1 will be fined 25 to 75 percent of the captain’s match fees, while the demerit point will also be added to his account. On the other hand, if a captain violates Level 2, then four demerit points will be added to his account. Any captain who has four demerit points can also impose a match referee penalty or decide to add additional demerit points. At the same time, the captain may also have to face the ban in future.
Hardik will be out of the first match of this season due to this rule
Mumbai Indians team captain Hardik Pandya faced a match ban in the last match of the team in the last match of the team in the 2024 IPL season, which will be implemented in the first match of this year’s IPL season and that is why Hardik will handle the responsibility of Suryakumar Yadav captaincy in the match against Chennai Super Kings for the Mumbai Indian Super Kings.
