The BCCI has decided that captains will no longer face match bans. Instead, they will be penalised with demerit points, with a ban being enforced only in extreme cases.

Additionally, the BCCI has stated that the Impact Player Rule, which has had its fair share of critics, will be reviewed after the 2027 edition, which means the rule will stay for the current IPL cycle. "The IPL will continue to implement the Impact Player rule, allowing teams to substitute one player during a match, at least until 2027," a source has informed Cricbuzz.

It is understood that the BCCI has also amended that DRS clause in the playing conditions. The referral will be applicable for the height wides and wides outside the off-stump. The 2024 IPL playing conditions state that a player is "allowed to review any decision taken by on-field umpires concerning wide or no ball". However, the 2025 playing conditions are still awaited.
