The rules clearly states that any Indian player – who is involved in IPL, can not take up any mentor in other T20 leagues.
A BCCI official said in this regard, “The rule remains the same. Unless one has retired from all forms of the game and has no involvement in the IPL – as a coaching staff or playing staff- he cannot feature in other T20 leagues.”
