 Articles
The BCCI also shared their plans for UAE with TOI on Monday, which looks like this:
Bio-Secure Environment
The IPL teams are supposed to create their bio-secure bubble beyond which the players
and support staff will not be allowed to interact. A similar bubble will also be created for
the IPL match officials, the BCCI, the broadcasters and the IMG staff. Nobody will be
allowed to interact with individuals outside their bubble except through pre-appointed
coordinators.

Revenue Pools
There will be no change in the revenue-sharing concept between the BCCI and the IPL
teams

Gate Money
The franchises won’t get any compensation from the BCCI for the loss of Gate Money
(ticket revenue).

Travel & accommodation

All the IPL teams will have to arrange the travel and accommodation-related arrangement
in UAE. However, the apex body will coordinate with UAE authorities to ensure
“discounted hotel rates” for the franchises.

 Articles
Medical assistance
All the IPL teams will have to arrange their own
medical team. Apart from that, BCCI will have a
central medical team as well. Once players & support
staff land in UAE, franchisees would be responsible
for testing. And they have to remain in contact with
the BCCI’s central medical team throughout the
competition.

Player replacement & loaning

The franchises will be free to travel with extra players
as there will be no change in the existing player policy.
