In documents filed with the court registrar on October 14, 2025, the BCCI highlighted actions it has taken, including implementing anti-corruption codes in 2019 to empower the board to impose fines and lifetime bans on offenders. The body also organises awareness programs to promote fair play, integrity, and sportsmanship among players and officials.
