Until the previous season, the Indian Premier League (IPL) had its own rules and codes of conduct when it came to the different levels of offenses committed by players during a particular IPL match. However, that will change with a major overhaul of the tournament’s guiding principles.

IPL had a history of several heated exchanges between players of different franchises on and off the field of play. In the IPL 2023 season, there were a total of 10 violations of the code of conduct. The most notable player to go under the radar for the Tier 1 offense was Kolkata Knight Riders‘pace Harshit Rana who was fined for violations on two separate occasions. In particular, other star players such as Tim David, Kieron Pollard, Virat Kohli, Sam Curran, Rasikh Salam Dari Ishan Kishan They were also held responsible for the offense during the course of the tournament.
Keeping these past cases in mind, a decision was made Board for Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) yesterday to expand the ICC’s regulation and code of conduct in its prestigious league tournament.
“Henceforth, ICC sanctioned penalties will be imposed for level 1, 2 or 3 offences. Till date, IPL had its own code of conduct, but from now on, the conditions of game will be followed as per ICC T20I regulations. a member of the IPL GC told PTI on condition of anonymity.

What are the penalties imposed by the ICC for level 1, 2 and 3 offences?
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has established specific sanctions for players based on the severity of their offences, categorized into three levels. For Level 1 Feloniesconsidered minors, players may be fined up to 50% of their match fee. Level 2 violations carry stricter consequences, with fines ranging from 50% to 100% of the match fee. The most serious violations are below Level 3leading to a ban of 6 Test matches or 12 ODIs. These penalties are applied to maintain discipline and maintain the spirit of the game. Once an offense has been reported, the ICC’s disciplinary process involves reviewing the evidence, hearing the player’s defense and determining the appropriate sanction. Match referees or judicial commissioners oversee this process to ensure fairness. Players have the right to appeal decisions if they believe the penalties are unfair. This structured approach helps promote accountability and fair play in cricket.
