Introduction

The BCCI has new rules for the 2026 IPL. They want to stop cheating and keep secrets.

Main Body

The BCCI is worried about social media. People make short videos in hotels and airports. These videos can show team secrets. Now, the rules apply to players, families, and social media stars. Some old players filmed in secret areas. The BCCI told them to stop. People in official clothes cannot film at the grounds. The board also told players not to share travel plans online. These rules are also in smaller leagues. The ACU found people in team hotels who did not belong there. The BCCI wants young players to follow the rules and be professional.

Conclusion

The BCCI is using strict rules to keep the game safe from social media risks.

Learning

💡 THE 'WHO' AND 'WHAT' PATTERN

In English, we usually put the Person first and the Action second. This is the secret to building A2 sentences.

Look at these examples from the text:

  • The BCCI (Person/Group) →\rightarrow want (Action)
  • People (Person) →\rightarrow make (Action)
  • Old players (Person) →\rightarrow filmed (Action)

🛠️ SIMPLE WORD SWAPS

To make your English better, change a 'general' word for a 'specific' one:

General WordSpecific Word (A2)
ThingsRules
PlacesHotels / Airports
Bad thingsRisks / Cheating

⚠️ THE "NOT TO" RULE

When you want to tell someone don't do this, use: Tell + Person + Not To + Action.

Example: "The board told players not to share travel plans."

Try this logic:

  • Tell →\rightarrow Me →\rightarrow Not to →\rightarrow Sleep.
