Many speculated that the spot-fixing scandal-plagued IPL might be shut down to stamp out the fixing poison that has crept into Indian cricket. But Jagmohan Dalmiya's 'Operation Cleaning Up' committee wants to bring extensive reforms in the competition even if the current board does not take such a strict decision.

The police have already arrested a total of 19 people, including several players, for their involvement in spot-fixing, and the ownership of Raj Kundra, the owner of a franchise, Rajasthan Royals, has been suspended.

Interim board president Jagmohan Dalmiya made 12 recommendations to curb spot-fixing at the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) meeting on Monday. First among these is the fact that the cheer girls stop dancing during matches.

Jagmohan Dalmia's 12 recommendations are:

• There will be no cheerleaders and after-match parties.

• Players, officials and owners have to follow strict rules.

• Restricting player movement between the dressing room and the dugout. And banning the owners from the dressing room during the match.

• Handing over mobile numbers of players and support staff to BCCI before the start of the competition.

• Making the numbers of Aksur Investigation Officers available to the players.

• Jamming the mobile network in the stadium during the match.

• Ensuring transparency of captain meetings.

• No national selector shall be associated with any franchise.

• All players must show transparency in financial transactions.

• Clarification of player contracts.

• Players cannot use headphones.

• Rethinking security systems, coming up with new strategies.

Board of Control for Cricket in India President Srinivasan decided to step down for a month after an emergency meeting of the Board of Cricket in India on June 3. Dalmiya is serving as interim president of the board for a month in Srinivasan's place. The steps taken by Dalmiya at the helm show that he wants to reduce the entertainment from IPL as much as possible and bring cricket back there.
