No more cheerleaders in IPL
The spot-fixing scandal which rocked IPL this year, has forced the administrators to make some hard-hitting changes in the tournament.
BCCI has now decided to remove cheerleaders from the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League, which is scheduled to be held in April-May period next year.
BCCI vice-president Ravi Savant has confirmed the development. “There will be no cheer girls in the IPL matches,” he said.
Savant was visiting Nashik for an inter-university Twenty20 tournament organised by Yashwantrao Chavan Maharashtra Open University when he made these comments.
Savant, who also holds the position of vice-president of Mumbai Cricket Association, said that a total of 10 changes have been suggested by the panel which BCCI appointed to look into the spot-fixing scandal.
“All the recommendations of the committee have been accepted and will be implemented from IPL 7 onwards,” Savant said.
Cheerleaders have been present in all editions of IPL so far, and have courted various controversies over the years.
No cheerleaders in IPL from next year, says BCCI vice-president
