The interactive session was conducted by officers from the Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) of BCCI who highlighted the importance of maintaining the highest standards of integrity in cricket.
This briefing was given by Ravindra Doiphode and Rakesh Dixit. Both the officers were working in high positions in Mumbai Police and Delhi Police. Addressing the players, the officers outlined the potential risks posed by betting networks, bookies and external elements that attempt to influence the outcome of matches. They emphasized the need for constant vigilance and strict adherence to the code of conduct prescribed by the BCCI. They also reminded players about the dangers of sharing sensitive information whether knowingly or unknowingly through social media, phone calls or casual conversations.
The session included real-life case studies from domestic and international cricket to help players understand how corruption attempts can appear in subtle ways. The officers further encouraged open dialogue, urging participants to raise questions and seek clarity on any situation that could compromise their professional integrity.
Speaking on the occasion, Sanjay Tandon, President, UTCA, said that while cricket is celebrated for its competitiveness and passion, it is equally important to safeguard its credibility. The guidance from the BCCI Anti-Corruption Unit is invaluable in preparing our players to recognize threats and respond responsibly. At UTCA, we remain committed to promoting clean cricket and ensuring that every match is remembered for skill, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
On the opening day of the league, scheduled for Thursday, the first match will feature the Altruistrians taking on the Chandigarh Kings at 10:00 am followed by the second clash between Dr Morepen Dazzlers and Capitals Strikers at 2:15 pm.
