BCCI also confirmed that players like Gautam Gambhir, who promoted the unrecognised IJPL T20, have withdrawn support from the league.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Monday issued a warning to its players against participating in "unapproved" Twenty20 leagues, emphasising that the Indian Junior Players League (IJPL), the Junior India Player League (JIPL) and the Junior Indian League are not conducted or approved by the board. The BCCI at asserted that strict action would be taken against any player found participating in the "unapproved tournaments".
"It has come to our attention that certain T-20 cricket matches, series, tournaments and/or camps are being conducted by leagues under the names of the Indian Junior Players League (IJPL) and the Junior India Player League/Junior Indian League (JIPL)," BCCI acting secretary Amitabh Choudhary said.
"This is to bring to your notice that any matches, camps tournament and/or series organised by IJPL and JIPL (collectively the 'Leagues') or any activity undertaken by the said leagues are not being conducted by the BCCI/Indian Premier League (IPL) and are in no way associated with any activities undertaken or approved by the BCCI/IPL or their representatives. Accordingly, any matches and activities conducted by the leagues are deemed to be unapproved tournaments," he added.
Indian Junior Players League T20 was held in Dubai last month from September 19-29.
BCCI also confirmed that big names like Gautam Gambhir, who promoted the unrecognised IJPL T20, have withdrawn support from the tournament.
"Please note that any player registered with the BCCI knowingly participating, representing or associating himself/herself with IJPL and JIPL in any manner is doing so without the consent of BCCI would be doing so in violation of the BCCI Rules and Regulations," the board warned.
The BCCI further said Indian players like Gambhir and Rishi Dhawan have nothing do with these unsanctioned events anymore. "Do note that the players who had been associated with any one of the Leagues in the past i.e. Gautam Gambhir, Paras Dogra and Rishi Dhawan have stated in writing that they have withdrawn all support and are no longer associated with the said unapproved Leagues," the statement added.
