BCCI Bans Arshdeep Singh from Vlogging During IPL 2026 Amid Conduct Controversies
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has imposed a strict ban on Punjab Kings bowler Arshdeep Singh, prohibiting him from creating vlogs or posting team-related content on social media during the remainder of IPL 2026. This disciplinary action follows controversies sparked by videos shared by Singh, which included mocking teammate Shashank Singh and allegedly showing spinner Yuzvendra Chahal vaping on a flight. The BCCI issued an advisory on May 7, extending restrictions to all franchises, players, and their families, barring the public release of any content from hotels, dressing rooms, or team travel until the tournament concludes. The board has also tightened security protocols, banning unauthorized individuals from team accommodations to prevent potential honeytraps and protect player integrity. This crackdown comes after multiple discipline breaches this season, including incidents involving Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag and team manager Romi Bhinder. The Anti-Corruption Unit is now closely monitoring compliance, reflecting the BCCI’s hardened stance on maintaining confidentiality and professional conduct within the league.
