It is likely that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will introduce ‘Impact Players' when the Indian Premier League (IPL 2023) gets underway next year.
This rule has already been implemented in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy that ended last month. According to this rule, the teams are allowed to make tactical substitutions in the middle of a match.
After successfully implementing the rule, the BCCI has decided to consider the Impact Player for the marquee tournament, scheduled for early April next year.
At the time of toss, teams must also mention four substitutes or Impact players along with their starting XI. It is possible to use one of them during the match. Until the end of the 14th over in either inning, players may replace any member of the starting XI and bat and bowl their full allotment.
βWith the ever-growing popularity of T20 cricket, it is imperative that we look at introducing new dimensions which will make this format more attractive and interesting not only for our viewers but also the participating teams from a strategic viewpoint,β the Hindu had quoted BCCI as saying in a statement to the state units earlier this year.
