The Indian Premier League is one of the most important tournaments for the Board of Control for Cricket in India, and anything that harms its image is taken seriously. So, it is not surprising that the BCCI has stepped in and noticed the matter.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Devajit Saikia said, “We are exploring other options.”
“We are considering how to deal with teams that violate the norms. So, we will be taking some action, and we are reviewing the various terms, conditions and protocols of the IPL,” he added.
“It is about how teams should behave. It is not only the players or the officials. As a team, they have to maintain a certain decorum so that the image of the IPL is never adversely affected,” he concluded.
“Riyan was found to have breached Article 2.21 of the IPL’s Code of Conduct, which relates to ‘conduct that brings the game into disrepute’. The incident occurred during the second innings, when Riyan was seen using a vape inside the dressing room,” the BCCI statement said.
