Reports: BCCI office to host IPL captains' meeting on March 20

As per reports, captains of the 10 participating franchises in the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) are to report to the headquarters of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Thursday, March 20. Along with the captains, the managers of all the 10 franchises have been extended invitations to be present too.

There were emails sent to the franchises by the management of the IPL and BCCI about the briefing. As per a report by Cricbuzz, the meeting will be conducted at noon time. The briefing at the Cricket Centre is understood to last for an hour. The primary agenda of the meeting has been reported to be informing the representatives of the teams about some new additions and changes with IPL 2025. The Taj Hotel is said to be holding sponsor activities post the hour-long briefing.

The entire duration of the event is said to be four hours. The gathering will culminate with a customer photoshoot with all the skippers in a single frame. Generally, these sort of pre-tournament rituals take place in the same city as the venue for the season-opener. However, this time around, there seems to be a deviation from the same.

Other than Axar Patel who was named the captain of Delhi Capitals quite recently, the leaders of the rest of the franchises were known from before. Hardik Pandya (Mumbai Indians),  Ruturaj Gaikwad (Chennai Super Kings), Rajat Patidar (Royal Challengers Bengaluru), Pat Cummins (Sunrisers Hyderabad), Rishabh Pant (Lucknow Super Giants), Shreyas Iyer (Punjab Kings), Sanju Samson (Rajasthan Royals), Ajinkya Rahane (Kolkata Knight Riders), and Shubman Gill (Gujarat Titans) are the captains of the other sides.
