Bengaluru stampede: BCCI set to formulate guidelines for post-IPL victory celebrations

BCCI to Formulate Guidelines for Post-IPL Victory Celebrations

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to formulate guidelines for post-IPL victory celebrations, following the tragic incident at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru where 11 fans lost their lives and many others were injured.

The BCCI has scheduled an online meeting of its Apex Council for June 14 to finalize the upcoming domestic season and the itinerary for next year's home white-ball series against New Zealand.

The board is exploring ways to regulate trophy celebrations without dampening the spirit of the occasion. The meeting will also finalize the dates and venues for the home series against New Zealand, which will feature three ODIs and five T20 Internationals.

The series holds added significance as it will serve as a key preparatory series ahead of the T20 World Cup, scheduled to be held in India and Sri Lanka in February-March 2026.

The domestic season is set to start in September with the Duleep Trophy, which will be an inter-zonal affair.
