Revealing his observations during the IPL games in Delhi this season, Chauhan said: "There are a lot of people around the dug-outs where the players sit. The franchisee owners are there, the other shareholders are there, and chairs are put up for the guests of the franchisees along the dug-out. That is not on in international cricket. We do not allow anybody at all near the players enclosure and the players dressing room. But here all that is happening," said Chauhan.<br /><br />He said, the post match IPL parties are an area of concern as well. <br /><br />"The players mingle very freely with the outsiders and there is no control over the type of people mixing around with the players," said Chauhan. <br /><br />It should be noted that there were tickets on sale, which gave access to complete strangers to these parties.</p>
