BCCI / IPL franchises

5 May 2026

Cricket reporting in early May 2026 indicated that the BCCI was preparing stricter rules around player partners, family travel, and dressing-room visitors at IPL franchises — reforms collectively described in the press as a 'girlfriend culture' crackdown. The proposals, attributed to BCCI sources but not formally announced, drew immediate public commentary about player welfare, privacy and franchise discipline.

Lala Amarnath Sent Home from England — June 1936

India

1936-06-21

On 21 June 1936, midway through India's tour of England, Lala Amarnath — the country's first Test centurion — was ordered home by tour captain the Maharajkumar of Vizianagaram (Vizzy) and tour management. The decision, made on disciplinary grounds that almost no contemporary account took at face value, became one of the worst administrative episodes in Indian cricket and set the political tone for the BCCI's later reform.

Bobby Peel Sacked by Yorkshire — Drunk on the Field, 1897

Yorkshire v Middlesex

1897-08-18

On 18 August 1897, Yorkshire's left-arm spinner Bobby Peel — at that point England's most successful slow bowler and a 100-Test-wicket man — turned up drunk on the third day of a Championship match against Middlesex at Bramall Lane. Lord Hawke ordered him from the field, and the Yorkshire committee suspended him for the rest of the season. Peel never played for Yorkshire again. The decision opened the door for the 19-year-old Wilfred Rhodes, who would take 4,184 first-class wickets across the next 33 years.
