Dubai: Indian Premier League's 13th edition is going to be one of its kind for many reasons. It is the first time since 2009 that the entire tournament will be played outside India and in a very strict and safe bio-secure bubble. Royal Challengers Bangalore's (RCB) Director of Cricket Mike Hesson has expressed that if players do a wilful breach of the bio-secure bubble in the UAE they will have to face strong consequences.

"We have a document the BCCI has written, which is basically part of your contract. If there's a breach of the bubble, if it's a willful act, then that becomes a contractual issue between the player and RCB, it will be dealt with very seriously," Hesson can be heard as saying in the team meeting.
