The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has issued strict guidelines limiting IPL 2025 teams to seven practice sessions before their opening match, with only two warm-up games allowed. The directive aims to protect pitch conditions, preventing franchises from holding practice matches on the main square within four days of their first home game. The BCCI will mediate scheduling conflicts if home and away teams request the same practice slot. IPL 2025 starts on March 22 with KKR vs. RCB, featuring 74 matches across 13 venues, with playoffs in Hyderabad and Kolkata.
