Ad Ban in IPL 2025
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) plans to prohibit advertisements of cryptocurrencies, tobacco, and alcohol during IPL 2025. This decision follows a recommendation from India's Ministry of Health.
India's Health Ministry Decision
Earlier this month, the Health Ministry of India issued an order banning all forms of promotional ads, including cryptocurrencies, tobacco, and alcohol, during the upcoming IPL season. BCCI will hold a meeting on March 22 in Kolkata to discuss this matter.
Other BCCI Discussion Points
BCCI will also deliberate on the Women's ODI World Cup and finalize venues for ICC events later this year. Other topics include forming the LOC for the Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 and deciding on venues.
BCCI's planned changes highlight the importance of stringent regulation of advertising activities to ensure compliance with India's regulations and protect public health.
