BCCI Sets New IPL Policies and Elects Council Members at 2026 AGM

BCCI held its annual general meeting in 2026 where officials reviewed the Indian Premier League structure, introduced a revised sexual harassment policy for players and staff, debated new age eligibility rules for domestic competitions, and set guidelines for franchise revenue sharing.

Dhumal and Majumdar were elected to the IPL Governing Council during the AGM, expanding the council’s membership, bringing experience from state cricket administration to league oversight, and influencing future scheduling decisions.

Sexual Harassment Policy now requires all franchisees to conduct annual training, set up an independent grievance cell, impose penalties for non‑compliance, and will be monitored by an external audit team, aiming to improve player safety and workplace standards.

Age Rules propose raising the minimum age for senior domestic tournaments to 19, while allowing under‑19 players to participate in limited matches, a move intended to balance talent development with player welfare and aligns with international best practices.
