Hardik Pandya becomes last casualty of slow over-rate policy as BCCI introduces new demerit points system for IPL 2025
BCCI has decided to impose demerit points for poor player behaviour, slow over rate and all other transgressions, according to media reports. Notably, Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya will not be able to lead his side in the first match of IPL 2025 as he faces a one-match ban to compensate for his team's low over-rate in the last edition. The system is similar to that used by the ICC, where the world cricket governing body assigns captains demerit points depending on the severity of the offence, which carries over for up to three years. "For every four demerit points accumulated, the match referee can impose a penalty, either in the form of a 100 per cent fine or additional demerit points. Hardik Pandya was given a one-match ban for maintaining a slow over-rate during Mumbai Indians' final match of the 2024 IPL season against Lucknow Super Giants.
