IPL Player Regulations: With the BCCI announcing the IPL Player Regulations 2025-27 ahead of the mega auction that will take place in 2025. Former England cricket Ian Bell shared his thoughts on the new regulations claiming it to be "fair" but "a balance is needed".

"It’s a pretty fair rule. If you get picked in the auction and then you don't come then it is a fair rule as teams put in a strategy, recruiting specific players and then if the player does not come then your strategy goes out of the window then it is not fair to the team.

“It’s a balancing act as the IPL is usually at the start of the England season as well so a balance is important. There is no doubt that IPL is the best place to play but all the players want to represent their country as well. But I don't disagree with the new rules,” Ian Bell told IANS.
