The areas cited include team dugouts, match-day transport, team hotels, and the Players and Match Officials Area (PMOA), prompting the BCCI to remind franchises of the competition\u2019s Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).<\/p>\n<p>IPL chairman Arun Dhumal confirmed that the ACSU has already submitted a report to the BCCI about the matter. His comments indicate the league\u2019s governing body is moving to tighten compliance around access and movement within regulated zones.<\/p>\n<h3>Quick facts<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The ACSU raised concerns about unauthorised people in dugouts, team buses, team hotels, and the PMOA during IPL matches.<\/li>\n<li>The ACSU report has been submitted to the BCCI.<\/li>\n<li>The BCCI plans to issue an advisory to franchises focused on strict adherence to tournament SOPs.<\/li>\n<li>BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia cited irregularities, including owners\/officials appearing in players\u2019 areas where access is not permitted.<\/li>\n<li>Further violations could trigger \u201cstringent action\u201d from the BCCI and IPL.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Dhumal said the ACSU flagged \u201ccertain anomalies\u201d and detailed the presence of unauthorised persons in the dugout, along with access seen on team transport and at team accommodation during matches. He added that PMOA protocols must be followed carefully and that the BCCI will ask franchises to remain mindful of the SOPs to restore the tournament\u2019s integrity.<\/p>\n<p>BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia also said the league is dealing with \u201cvarious anomalies and irregularities\u201d during the current season. He noted that, in some instances, team owners and officials were spotted in players\u2019 areas, which he said is against the rules.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on Thursday, Saikia said BCCI and IPL are preparing an advisory after observing repeated breaches. He pointed out that several unauthorised individuals have been seen moving with teams, and in some cases they have been present at hotels and even in players\u2019 rooms or in rooms reserved for team officials\u2014actions he described as incompatible with anti-corruption protocols.<\/p>\n<p>Saikia further stated that the board has also seen certain team owners and officials mixing with players in zones where such interaction is not allowed. He said the BCCI is taking the issues \u201cvery seriously,\u201d and that the advisory will be applied strictly. According to Saikia, any further violation will invite firm disciplinary measures from the BCCI and the IPL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The IPL\u2019s Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU) has flagged a serious breach of tournament control, pointing to \u201cunauthorised\u201d individuals being allowed into restricted spaces during&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":8206,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_yoast_wpseo_title":"IPL News: ACSU Flags Unauthorised Access, BCCI Warns","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"ACSU flags unauthorised access at IPL venues and hotels, with BCCI issuing a sharp SOP reminder to franchises to tighten security immediately.","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8207","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ipl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>IPL News: ACSU Flags Unauthorised Access, BCCI Warns<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"ACSU flags unauthorised access at IPL venues and hotels, with BCCI issuing a sharp SOP reminder to franchises to tighten security immediately.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/1win.za.com\/ipl\/acsu-flags-breaches-over-unauthorised-access-bcci-reminds-all-franchises\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"IPL News: ACSU Flags Unauthorised Access, BCCI Warns\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"ACSU flags unauthorised access at IPL venues and hotels, with BCCI issuing a sharp SOP reminder to franchises to tighten security immediately.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/1win.za.com\/ipl\/acsu-flags-breaches-over-unauthorised-access-bcci-reminds-all-franchises\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"1Win India\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-05-07T19:59:51+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/1win.za.com\/ipl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dhumal-ipl-anti-corruption-unit-f2ae.webp\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1213\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"698\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/webp\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Arjun Patel\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Arjun Patel\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/1win.za.com\\\/ipl\\\/acsu-flags-breaches-over-unauthorised-access-bcci-reminds-all-franchises#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/1win.za.com\\\/ipl\\\/acsu-flags-breaches-over-unauthorised-access-bcci-reminds-all-franchises\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Arjun Patel\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/1win.za.com\\\/ipl\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/9aac810730409fd3131f08f34023f33e\"},\"headline\":\"ACSU flags breaches over unauthorised access;
