The Indian Premie☂r League (IPL) has come up with an innovatioღn for the 2023 season.
They introdu𝐆ced a new Impact Player Rule, which means there will be 12 players playing for a team.
Every captain will be allowed to name four ღsubstitutes along with their starti💃ng eleven.
He could replace♔ an on-field athlete with one of those substitu♏tes mid-game.
However, the rule comes with certain conditions:
1)🌸 An overseas player can only be brought as a substitute if the teams don’t feature 4 foreigners in their playing 11.
Otherwise, the impact players can only be Indian.
2) An impact player can be introduced in the game before the start of the innings✨ or after the completion of an 🐽over.
He also needs to be called before the 14th over in an inning🦂.
3) The captain can send the impact player to🅘🅺 bat at the fall of a wicket or if a batter retires.
Notably, BCCI implemented thi🦩s rule in the 2022 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy before the IPL.
