JUSTICE MUDGAL IPL PROBE COMMITTEE 201473IPL teams constantly. The proposals merit seriousconsideration by the BCCI subject to the caveat that whileensuring that the players are protected from contact ofundesirable elements, the restrictions themselves shouldnot be such which may ultimately affect the morale of theteam. It is necessary to remind ourselves that the playersare ambassadors of their country and the sport. Therestrictions therefore ought not to isolate them or expectthem to lead a monastic existence. The aim obviously is toprohibit unauthorised access by unsuitable /unscrupulouspersons under unsuitable circumstances.Measures which can be considered in this regard include:(i)The introduction of an accreditation system; onlyBCCI/IPL/ Team Management accredited personsshould be permitted access to players, incircumstances approved by the team management.(ii)Prohibition on access to player’s hotel roomsexcept for immediate family members.(iii)Strict control of telephonic access; only cellulartelephones issued to players by the BCCI shouldbe allowed and details of calls made and receivedshould be available so as to allow monitoring bythe BCCI. Possession of an unauthorised cell

This is a sensitiveissue amongst players.
