BCCI asks Arshdeep Singh to stop vlogging after Chahal vaping controversy
The BCCI reportedly warned Arshdeep Singh to stop vlogging after his video allegedly showed teammate Yuzvendra Chahal vaping.Summary
Hours after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) introduced stricter operational and security guidelines for IPL franchises and players, Arshdeep Singh has reportedly been warned by the board to stop his behind-the-scenes vlogging activities. This directive follows a controversy involving teammate Yuzvendra Chahal. According to an NDTV report, the BCCI asked the Punjab Kings bowler to stop vlogging after one of his travel videos allegedly showed Chahal vaping during a team flight to Hyderabad. The issue arose when social media clips from Arshdeep's vlog went viral, showing Chahal hiding something under his left palm before mimicking a vaping gesture. While the original video was edited, the footage had already reached a wide audience. So far, neither the BCCI nor Punjab Kings has released an official statement. This is the second vaping-related issue in the IPL this season; earlier, Rajasthan Royals captain Riyan Parag was fined for vaping in the dressing room. The BCCI had previously sent an eight-page directive to franchises highlighting concerns from the Anti-Corruption and Security Unit.
